Minted blueberry orange sorbet

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 cups Picked-over fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries
½ cup Packed fresh mint leaves
⅓ cup Sugar
3 tablespoons Triple sec; cointreau, or other orange-flavored liqueur
2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice

Directions

If using fresh berries, put them in one layer in shallow baking pans and freeze until frozen solid, about 2 hours.

In a 2 cup saucepan combine remaining ingredients and crush with a pestle or wooden spoon until mint is crushed and sugar begins to dissolve. Warm mixture over moderately low heat, stirring, until sugar is completely dissolved and let stand 2 hours. Strain mint mixture through a fine sieve into a small bowl, pressing hard on solids to extract all syrup. In a food processor puree frozen berries until chopped fine (they will be dry). Add syrup and blend about 3 minutes, or until smooth. Transfer sorbet to an airtight container and freeze until firm enough to scoop.

Yield: 1 pint
