Tips for apple sorbet
To make your apple sorbet really good, it's all about choosing the right type of apple and a few little tricks. Here are some tips to help you get the best out of your sorbet:
1. choose the right apple variety
Not every apple is equally suitable for sorbet. Here are some varieties that go particularly well. You can now also buy apple juice made from certain apple varieties. Otherwise, you can also press them yourself. Make sure that you buy as regionally as possible, be it the apples or the apple juice:
- Braeburn - Sweet and sour with an intense aroma, provides a good balance (e.g. 2 x 5 liters from € 29.90 (€ 2.99 / l))* .
- Elstar - Fruity and aromatic, with a natural sweetness (e.g. van Nahmen I Elstar apple juice (BIO)* .
- Boskoop - Tart with a slightly bitter note, ideal for a more intense flavor (e.g. BLEICHHOF® apple juice Boskoop from € 20.78 (€ 4.81 / l))* .
2. dose ginger
Ginger can quickly dominate, so approach it carefully:
- A few thin slices are enough for a light spiciness.
- If you like it more intense, you can use about a thumb-sized piece of ginger per 1 liter.
3. find the right sweetness
The sweetness can vary depending on the type of apple. If the apples are very tart, this can be balanced out with a little more sugar and less lemon juice. If the apples or apple juice are very sweet, use a little more lemon juice. Remember that the liquid ice cream mixture should taste a little too sweet when it is not yet frozen in order to have the right sweetness after the freezing process.
