Strawberry Cantaloupe Sorbet

Strawberry Sorbet (2)

We’ve been having fun with fruit combos for dessert this summer. Here’s another unexpected blend of melon and berry with delicious results.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cantaloupe
  • 1 and 1/2 cups strawberries
  • 1/2 cup apple juice
  1. Peel and cube the cantaloupe, reserving the remaining half for another use.
  2. Add the cantaloupe to a blender, along with the strawberries and apple juice; process until smooth.
  3. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 1 hour. Fluff with a fork. Repeat until ready to serve.

Note: If you leave this in the freezer overnight and it becomes solid, just let thaw briefly before fluffing with a fork and scooping out. It will resemble more of a granita than a sorbet, but is still delicious!
