Step-by-step Guide

Poach the milk until it reaches 85 °C, stirring gently to ensure an even temperature.
Gradually add the sugar to the hot milk, constantly mixing until it completely dissolves. This may take about 5 minutes.
Incorporate previously hydrated gelatin and stir until fully integrated, ensuring there are no lumps.

At the end, you will find a detailed summary of the process for preparing a basic syrup, useful for making sorbets.
For more specific information on ice cream preparation and varieties, refer to the "IceCream_theory" sheet in the chapter dedicated to "IceCream_mousses_truffles_coulis". Note: The day before starting, we should have placed the ice cream maker's bucket in the freezer so that it is well chilled.
Necessary quantities to prepare 1 kg of Sorbet using a Base Syrup: Ensure that the base syrup is prepared considering whether the sorbets will be made with the ice cream maker to serve immediately at approximately -11ºC, or if they will be left in the freezer at -18ºC to be consumed later.

Weigh 500 g of the base syrup using a kitchen scale to ensure precision.
Add the fruit cut into small pieces or the freshly squeezed citrus juice as indicated in the table. Make sure it is completely integrated with the syrup.
Add water and sugar if the formula requires it, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Use the blender for about 2-3 minutes until a homogeneous and smooth mixture is obtained.
Start the ice cream maker for the churning phase. Note: the ice cream maker's tub should have been in the freezer for at least 24 hours to be ready. Start the ice cream maker without the mix and, while it's running, slowly pour in the mix.
Churn for the indicated time, monitoring the consistency to ensure the sorbet churns evenly.
The ice cream maker will take between 35 and 40 minutes to have the ice cream ready, so pay attention to the change in texture to know when it is ready to serve.

First, let the cream sit in the refrigerator for 8 hours to complete its maturation process.
After this time, gently stir the cream with a spatula and transfer it to the freezer.
Once in the freezer, stir the mixture every 30 minutes for approximately 3 hours, until it acquires a texture similar to ice cream.
If the ice cream has been frozen at -18ºC, remove it from the freezer 30 minutes before serving to ensure it has an optimal texture for serving.
We will need glass jars that close hermetically and are perfectly clean and sterilized for storage.
Mix the stabilizer with the sucrose and set aside this mixture for later use.
In a saucepan, mix the water and dextrose cold, stirring with a manual whisk until everything is well incorporated.
Heat the mixture and, when it reaches 40ºC, add the neutral mix and sucrose. Stir until completely integrated.
Heat to 85ºC without stirring and allow to boil for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Remove from heat and cool as quickly as possible using a cold water and ice bath.
Once the mixture is cold, place it in the refrigerator until it reaches a temperature of 4ºC.
Once it reaches 4ºC, add freshly squeezed lemon juice to balance the flavors.
Pack the mixture in aseptic jars that close hermetically to preserve all its properties.
Store the jars in the refrigerator to keep the content in optimal condition until the moment of its use.

Recommendations & Tricks

Make sure to prepare the base syrup at least 24 hours before making the sorbets so it has time to mature properly.
At the end of the recipe, you will find a detailed summary of the process for preparing a base syrup to ensure its success.
For further exploration, consult the "Ice Creams_Theory" sheet in the corresponding chapter of "Ice Creams_Mousses_Truffles_Coulis" for more extensive information.
A day before making the sorbets, place the ice cream maker bowl in the freezer at a minimum of -18ºC to ensure proper freezing.
To make 1 kg of sorbet, adjust the quantities of the ingredients according to the base syrup you use.
Adapt the quantities of the base syrup depending on the number of people and the capacity of your ice cream maker.
Consider whether you want to serve the sorbets immediately, at a temperature of -11ºC with the ice cream maker, or store them in the freezer at -18ºC to consume later.
Carefully follow the sorbet-making process, keeping in mind that the base syrup must have matured correctly to achieve the ideal texture.
