Sorbet

My 1 year no pay leave has been approve! Is a relief but was kind of worrying too. Wonder will I be able to cope as a SAHM. You know is hard to have personal space and time when u have 2 kids around.

Although I have a maid but she does not cook our local dish very well. We can't make ourselves eating Indonesian food all the time. So most of the time I have to do the cooking myself. Anyway, I love cooking and now with the maid I can mess up the kitchen without worrying to clean up later :) Thus, I must make full use of this period of time when I have the maid.

I love cooking for family and friends and I love to make dessert coz I have a sweet tooth. My hubby and Sam love sorbet but is so expensive to buy outside, 1 small ball will cost S$2.50 ~ $3! so, I decide to make it myself. Here is a recipe to make sorbet for those who may be interested. This recipe come from various source, some from the cooking program I had watched and some from the blog I came across. I make some changes here and there and viola. Is healthier as compare to ice cream.

Mango Sorbet

Ingredients:

2 big mangoes
50ml water
40-50gm sugar (depend how sweet u want it to be)
2 tbsp lemon juice or lime juice (add more if u prefer it to be more sour)

1. Boiled the water and sugar till sugar dissolved. Leave it aside to cool.

2. Puree the mango and add in the sugar syrup and lemon juice, blend the mixture.

3. Pour into a flat tray. the mixture should be 2-3cm thick.

4. Freeze the mixture.

5. Used a fork to scrap the frozen mixture to crumbs. This will create the sorbet texture.

6. Used a plastic bag to cover your hand and knead the crumbs to balls. Do it fast coz it melt easily

Ready to serve. If u like put a mint leave to decorate it .
