CANTALOUPE SORBET

Makes about fourteen 1⁄2-cup (125 ml) servings

3⁄4cup (180 ml) granulated sugar

3⁄4cup (180 ml) water

21⁄2 pounds (1.1 kg) cantaloupe cubes

2⁄3cup (160 ml) tangerine or orange juice

1 tablespoon (15 ml) corn syrup

Place sugar and water in a 11⁄2 quart (1.4 L) saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, reduce heat to medium and cook until the sugar is completely dissolved to make a simple syrup – you will have 11⁄4 cups (300 ml) simple syrup. Transfer to a bowl and cool completely.

Place the melon cubes in a food processor fitted with the metal “s” blade. Pulse to chop, then process until completely puréed – you will have about 6 cups (1.5 L) cantaloupe purée. Stir in the tangerine juice, corn syrup and cooled simple syrup. Cover and chill for 2 hours or longer.

Turn the machine on; pour the mixture into freezer bowl, and let mix until thickened, about 20 to 25 minutes. The sorbet will have a soft, slushy texture, similar to a freshly scooped Italian ice. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and place in freezer for about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.
