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.
