Frozen grapes are blended with lemon and a little sugar to make a bright, refreshing sorbet that’s perfect for hot summer days. Using whole grapes gives the dessert plenty of natural fruit flavour, while lemon adds freshness and balance. Serve it straight from the food processor for a soft sorbet texture, or freeze it until firmer for an easy make-ahead treat.

Ingredients

Method
  • 1 kg Woolworths seedless red grapes or Woolworths seedless white grapes
  • 1 kg Woolworths castor sugar
  • ¼ cup Maizena cornflour
  • 1 T lemon, juice and zest
  • 10 g fresh mint (optional)

Method

Ingredients

1. Wash the grapes, remove the stems and in a freezer- friendly container or bag, freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.

2. Into a food processor, add the frozen grapes and the remaining ingredients (castor sugar, cornflour, lemon juice and zest, and salt).

3. Pulse in the processor, scraping sides intermittently, until smooth.

4. Serve immediately or place in a freezer safe, airtight container and store until needed.

Chef's note: The cornflour  acts as a thickening starch, that also provides a light texture, but you can make this recipe without it, and it will still be a delicious final finish!
