A bright, refreshing sorbet made with UNS Red Pomelo — naturally sweet, slightly tangy, and rich in antioxidants. Infused with warming ginger and fresh basil, this frozen dessert is light, elegant, and perfect for summer evenings or as a palate cleanser between courses.
Ingredients
- 2 cups UNS Red Pomelo segments (membranes removed)
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- Zest of 1 lime (optional for added brightness)
Method
- Make the syrup: In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, ginger, and basil. Simmer gently for 3–5 minutes until the sugar dissolves and flavors infuse. Let cool completely.
- Prepare the fruit: Carefully peel and segment UNS Red Pomelo, removing any white pith and seeds.
- Blend: Add pomelo flesh, cooled syrup, and lime juice to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Freeze: Pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze for at least 4 hours, stirring every hour for a smoother texture
- Serve: Scoop into bowls and garnish with basil leaves or a touch of lime zest.
