Minted Blueberry Orange Sorbet

Recipe Ingredients

3 cups	711ml	Picked-over fresh blueberries
		Or frozen blueberries
1/2 cup	20g / 0.7oz	Fresh mint leaves - (packed)
1/3 cup	65g / 2.3oz	Sugar
3 tablespoons	45ml	Triple sec, Cointreau, or
		Other orange-flavored liqueur
2 tablespoons	30ml	Fresh orange juice

Recipe Instructions

If using fresh berries, put them in one layer in shallow baking pans and freeze until frozen solid, about 2 hours.

In a 2 cup saucepan combine remaining ingredients and crush with a pestle or wooden spoon until mint is crushed and sugar begins to dissolve. Warm mixture over moderately-low heat, stirring, until sugar is completely dissolved and let stand 2 hours.

Strain mint mixture through a fine sieve into a small bowl, pressing hard on solids to extract all syrup.

In a food processor puree frozen berries until chopped fine (they will be dry). Add syrup and blend about 3 minutes, or until smooth. Transfer sorbet to an airtight container and freeze until firm enough to scoop.

This recipe yields 1 pint.
