BLUEBERRY-GINGER SORBET

This is the easiest sorbet to make because there is no simple syrup to make and let cool and no straining necessary.



4 cups blueberries
2 T freshly grated ginger
3 pieces of candied ginger, chopped
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup honey
1 T freshly grated lemon zest
3 T freshly squeezed lemon juice
¼ cup cold water
2 T vodka (optional)

Place all of the above ingredients into a blender and puree until smooth.
Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Transfer to a covered container and place in your freezer, until firm.

Serves 4 to 6
