Ingredients Blueberry sorbet

For 4 portions

500 g blueberries
100 g water (alternatively white wine)
40 g lime juice (approx. ½ lime)
10 g sugar
30 g Dextrose* (dextrose)
1 pinch of salt

Preparation blueberry sorbet

The preparation is like all Sorbets conceivably simple and can be carried out in less than 15 minutes:

Place all ingredients except the blueberries in a pot and heat gently until the sugar is dissolved. Let the syrup cool down.
Wash the blueberries thoroughly and put them into a blender together with the syrup and puree.
The mass is cooled in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Then pour the mixture into the ice-cream maker or alternatively mix well in the freezer every 30 minutes with a fork (approx. 4 hours). In the latter case, the ice cream can be put into the blender again briefly before serving.

If the ice cream has been in the freezer for a longer time, it will become very hard. Then you should let it thaw for about 15 minutes in the refrigerator before serving.
