Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh figs
- 240 ml Water
- 150 grams Sugar
- 120 ml Ruby port
- 15 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Wash the fresh figs thoroughly and remove their stems. Cut the figs into quarters for easier blending.
In a medium saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves. This will take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
In a blender or food processor, combine the quartered figs, cooled sugar syrup, ruby port, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing down with a spatula to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard any seeds or solids left in the sieve.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, until the mixture reaches a smooth and sorbet-like consistency.
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up before serving.
Serve scooped into bowls for a refreshing treat. Optionally, garnish with fresh fig slices or a small drizzle of port for presentation.
