tomato crazy


it is definitely different than any sorbet i have ever had. the tomatoes were stewed in sugar, ginger, cinnamon sticks, cloves and lemon slices for two days. i pureed them and then strained out the juice. the juice went to the sorbet, the mash went to the ice cream. this is about the sorbet, ice cream coming next...

about 4 quarts of tomato juice. i added about a cup of lemon juice and maybe a quart of simple syrup. and churned it. it has a wonderful color and texture.. more jell than a normal sorbet.. all that pectin from the tomato stew. the flavors of cinnamon and clove make it taste very fall. which i guess it is getting to be...

i think that i have to appreciate it as its own thing, i am having a really hard time coming up with descriptors. i want to put more of it in my mouth, but it is just so strange!

  1. i was talking with meghan about your sorbet and telling her about how there was some interest it becoming a business and how you wanted/needed to make forkheartknife branding and she sent me this link to her friend in brooklyn that has what seems to be a similar style blog that you might find interesting both food wise and graphic aesthetic wise for the company. www.eatmakeread.com
