Celery Sorbet
This celery sorbet is surprisingly easy to make, and the fresh taste will have you coming back for more. Here’s how you can whip up this unusual yet delicious treat.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh celery juice (about 8-10 celery stalks)
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Start by preparing your celery juice. Wash the celery stalks thoroughly, then chop them into smaller pieces. Using a juicer, extract the juice from the celery. You should have about 2 cups of fresh celery juice. If you don’t have a juicer, you can blend the chopped celery with a little water and then strain it through a fine sieve or cheesecloth.
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves. Once dissolved, remove from heat and allow it to cool.
- Once the sugar syrup has cooled, mix in the freshly prepared celery juice, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow dish (like a metal baking pan) and place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, use a fork to scrape and stir the mixture to break up any ice crystals. Continue this process for about 3-4 hours until the sorbet is firm and fluffy.
- Once your sorbet is ready, scoop it into chilled bowls or cups and serve immediately. You can also store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. Just remember to let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving, to make it easier to scoop!
Enjoy your homemade celery sorbet! It’s a refreshing treat that’s sure to intrigue your palate. Whether served at a dinner party or just as an afternoon refresher, this sorbet brings a unique twist to traditional desserts.
