Ingredients

  • cups ginger fresh unpeeled sliced
  • tablespoons juice of lemon to taste
  • quarts rhubarb fresh thinly sliced
  • 0.3 teaspoon salt 
  • 2.5 cups sugar 

Equipment

  • sauce pan
  • sieve
  • spatula
  • ice cream machine
  • colander

Directions

  1. To make the sorbet: In a nonreactive saucepan, bring the rhubarb, ginger syrup, and salt to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until the rhubarb turns a deep dusky rose color and is the texture of very soft applesauce. Push through a medium (not fine) sieve or colander with a spatula while still warm. It should yield 4 cups. Cool before adding the lemon juice and freezing in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s directions.
  2. To make the ginger syrup: Bring 1 1/4 cups water to a boil in a nonreactive saucepan. Stir in the sugar and ginger and bring to a very low simmer. Cook for 1 hour. Cool the ginger in the liquid and then strain.
