Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Produce and Fruits:
- 4 cups (20 ounces / 567 grams) blueberries
- 2 teaspoons (5 grams) grated ginger
Sweeteners and Liquids:
- ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon (110 grams) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) filtered water
- 3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) lemon juice
Stabilizers and Enhancers:
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/8 teaspoon guar gum
Instructions
- Craft a vibrant berry compote by merging blueberries, sugar, water, lemon juice, ginger, and salt in a saucepan. Gently simmer the mixture until berries soften and release their juices, approximately 10 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the aromatic hot mixture into a blender. Pulverize until achieving a silky-smooth consistency, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to eliminate any residual seeds or skin fragments.
- Create a smooth binding agent by thoroughly combining guar gum with remaining sugar. Incorporate this powder into the blueberry purée, blending until perfectly integrated.
- Pour the luminous sorbet base into a heat-resistant container, sealing tightly. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight, allowing flavors to harmonize and temperature to drop completely.
- Activate the ice cream maker and churn the chilled mixture according to manufacturer’s specific guidelines, transforming the liquid into a delicate, aerated sorbet.
- Delicately transfer the freshly churned sorbet into a freezer-safe container. Shield the surface with plastic wrap or parchment paper to prevent crystallization and freezer burn.
- Allow the sorbet to solidify overnight, creating a pristine, ginger-infused blueberry dessert ready to be savored.
Notes
- Ginger adds a warm, spicy kick that transforms ordinary blueberry sorbet into an extraordinary dessert.
- Straining the mixture ensures a silky-smooth texture without pesky seeds or berry skins.
- Chilling the base thoroughly before churning helps develop deeper, more concentrated flavor profiles.
