Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 900 grams Fresh apricots
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Honey
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 120 milliliters Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Halve the apricots and remove the pits. Place the apricot halves cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the apricots to help caramelize them during roasting.
Roast the apricots in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
Transfer the roasted apricots to a blender or food processor. Add the honey, lemon juice, and water.
Blend the mixture until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
Taste the purée and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding a bit more honey or sugar to your preference.
Pour the apricot purée into an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until thoroughly cold.
Process the chilled mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a smooth, sorbet-like consistency.
Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up before serving.
Serve scoops of roasted apricot sorbet in bowls or cones, and enjoy!
