Guava Sorbet
- 1 gelatin sheet
- 325 g guava nectar (1 1/4 cups)
- 100 g glucose (1/4 cup)
- 0.25 g lime juice (1/8 teaspoon)
- 1 g kosher salt (1/4 teaspoon)
- Bloom the gelatin (see page 29).
- Warm a little bit of the guava nectar and whisk in the gelatin to dissolve.
- Whisk in the remaining guava nectar, the glucose, lime juice, and salt until everything is fully dissolved and incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into your ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturers instructions.
- The sorbet is best spun just before serving or using, but it will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Powdered gelatin can be substituted for the sheet gelatin: use 1/2 teaspoon.
- In a pinch, substitute 35 g (2 tablespoons) corn syrup for the glucose.
- Instead of a whisk, use a hand blender to mix the sorbet base.
- While making the sorbet base, taste it.
- Do you think it should be sweeter?
- Saltier?
- Add more glucose, lime juice, or salt if necessary to balance (see page 26)
