250 g caster sugar (vegan sugar such as Florida Crystals, blended)

250 g rhubarb -- chopped

1 lemon -- juice of

 

Place all the ingredients in a heavy-bottomed pan with 500 ml (18 fl oz)

water and bring to the boil. Lower the heat, then simmer for about 10

minutes until the rhubarb is well cooked and the liquid is syrupy.

 

Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until

smooth. Put the mixture in a bowl and leave until thoroughly cooled.

 

Pour the mixture into an ice-cream maker and freeze-churn according to the

manufacturer's instructions. If you do not have an ice-cream maker, place

the mixture in a plastic box. Cover the box and freeze for 3-4 hours

until half frozen. Whisk the mixture with an electric hand whisk; freeze

for a further 3 hours. Whisk again, then freeze for 4-6 hours before

serving.

NOTES : Rhubarb has a slight image problem, perhaps because many of us

were forced to eat stewed rhubarb when we were children. Young,

pink rhubarb has a much better flavour than the coarse old stems,

and makes a very refreshing sorbet.

 

Jo's note: This was very good, but you'd be lucky if it served 4,

let alone 8. I happened to have half a punnet (approx. 125g) of

strawberries lying around and I threw them in just before blending

in the food processor and it was really nice.
