Strawberry Rhubarb Sorbet
Another tasty little treat that I made for my ultimate girls weekend with my sisters and my mom is this Strawberry Rhubarb Sorbet. I was surprised to see rhubarb in the grocery store late last week. I’m having a hard time adjusting to when produce is in season here in Ohio. It’s surprisingly different than what I’m used to from living in Boston.
So as I was strolling the produce section, the rhubarb caught my eye. A couple of weeks ago I had picked out this recipe to make, but couldn’t find rhubarb anywhere. I just assumed I had missed the season. I guess I was just looking too soon in the summer or something…
Everyone knows that strawberries and rhubarb play nicely together. It’s no surprise that this sorbet has a tart bite to it from the rhubarb and a sweet finish from the strawberry.

Strawberry Rhubarb Sorbet
Yield: 1 1/2 quarts
Ingredients:
3/4 pound rhubarb, trimmed
3/4 cup sugar
10 ounces fresh strawberries
1/2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Directions:
Cut the rhubarb into half-inch pieces. In a medium, nonreactive saucepan, bring the rhubarb, two-thirds cup water and the sugar to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the rhubarb is tender and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
Slice the strawberries and puree them in a blender or food processor with the cooked rhubarb mixture and lemon juice until smooth.
Chill the mixture thoroughly, then freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Your strawberries are beautiful! I like to add a little salt to my chocolate…it really brings out the flavor! There are perfect for V-day 🙂 I made your crustless quiche last night…to die for!! Thanks for the recipe.
Very pretty. I kind of like them on a stick! It would be a fun way to serve them.
Just lovely. I want them on a stick too! Anything on a stick is better!
Beautiful! Chocolate covered strawberries are a favorite of mine. What a great idea putting them upright in foam so they don’t grow feet! I’m going to try that the next time I make them. 🙂
What a great idea! Makes them absolutely perfect!
These strawberries are beautiful! What a great idea to put a stick in them for display.
I love chocolate covered strawberries. The little white chocolate swirl makes them really fun 🙂
