From Chef Dean Rucker for Seeds of Wellness
Serves: 6
This method for making sorbet can be used to make sorbet from many different types of ripe seasonal fruit. Peaches, strawberries, blueberries and bananas to name a few. The addition of Seeds of Wellness Chia Oil not only bolsters the nutrients in this sorbet, it lends a silky mouthfeel and adds a background nuttiness. Anytime you have a bunch of fruit that risks going to waste, simply peel or rinse and slice or dice it. For every 3 cups of fruit squeeze over the juice of 1 orange and 1 lemon or lime. Freeze flat in a freezer bag. Then, whenever you are ready. Process as directed below.
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh ripe pineapple, peeled and diced
- 2 cups fresh ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1 cup orange juice, fresh squeezed
- 1 tablespoon Seeds of Wellness Chia Oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Chia seeds, for garnish
Method
- In a shallow non-reactive dish, stir together the pineapple, mango and orange juice. Cover and place in the freezer for 3-6 hours until frozen solid.
- When mixture is frozen, remove it from the freezer and let it stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- With a large metal spoon, break the frozen fruit into smaller pieces. Transfer the mixture into the work bowl of a food processor. Add SOW Chia Oil over the fruit. Process until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
- Sprinkle about ¼ tsp of chia seeds over each serving and Enjoy!
Note
- Serve immediately or place back in the freezer for up to 1 hour before serving.
- The sorbet will freeze solid again but it can simply be processed again until creamy before serving.
- NNU serving idea: 1) fill 4 ounce mini ice cream cartons with lid for serving; 2) need to experiment with thaw time/service if preparing in advance without reprocessing to creamy
