Answers to Common Questions Asked About This Recipe
Which tools are helpful for making healthy frozen fruit sorbet?
The main tool you need for making frozen fruit sorbet is the food processor. You can use any size of food processor, even if it’s on the smaller side – you just may have to work in batches is all.
I have a Kitchen Aid 11-Cup Food Processor and I love it. I like to be sure it’s sitting on my kitchen counter (instead of up in the cupboard) so I have easy access to it when I want to make a kitchen task easier and faster.
Silicone Spatula Spoons – Of all the tools in my kitchen, silicone spatula spoons are what I use the most. They make stirring and sautéing a breeze and I love all the pretty silicone colors available. I like to have different sizes on hand for different kitchen tasks – soooo handy!
Are sorbet and sherbet the same thing?
They are similar in consistency, but sherbet is usually a little creamier in texture because it contains a little cream or milk as an ingredient. Sorbet has no dairy at all.
Why does this recipe called for canned frozen fruit?
Canned fruit is sold packed in heavy syrup or light syrup, so it’s already sweetened. This makes making sorbet super fast – all you have to do is process until smooth, then serve it up.
If you use canned fruit that is packed in water, you may need to add a bit of sweetener, depending on your taste preferences. Or add a topping that’s sweetened.
Can any type of canned fruit be used to make fruit sorbet?
So far, I haven’t experienced a canned fruit that isn’t good for making fruit sorbet! However, I have to say I’ve never tried canned prunes…..fyi.
Does the frozen fruit for making fruit sorbet have to be the canned type?
You can use any type of frozen fruit to make sorbet, it doesn’t have to be canned. Just remember that most frozen fruits are sold unsweetened (but not all of them) so you may have to add a bit of sweetener.
What is the best way to sweeten sorbet?
You can add a bit of granulated sugar, no-calorie sweeteners, honey, agave nectar, simple syrup, or even pure maple syrup to the frozen fruit for making sorbet. I go by taste, adding a little at a time.
