How to Make a Melon Sorbet - Academia Barilla recipes

[Digadogup]

I find it ironic that a French is using imperial metric system to do cooking, when SI was founded in France :S

[rainewater24]

aw... any substitute for the balsamic vinegar? we used up all our BV and it was given to me as a gift, they are expensive here where i live...

@rainewater24

The Balsamic Vinegar is a finishing touch, it is not fundamental for the recipe. You can use this recipe for making a normal sorbet and then let your creativity run freely to prepare your own version.

[buckweed226]

can we use this technique to make any other flavor of sorbet?

[SaraHussain43]

can we skip vinegar!? will that make a difference!?

[academiabarilla]

@SaraHussain43

yes, even if balsamic vinegar adds more flavour to the sorbet

[KBAFourthtime]

How can this be done without such a machine? (We don't own one)

[academiabarilla]

@KBAFourthtime

you can do in the old way as it is explained in the video, but consider that the result will be not so smooth as using the machine.

[MsPennyDrop]

Looks great and a very well made video :)

[academiabarilla]

@MsPennyDrop

Thank you!

[sathism2003]

But I don't see that you use the vinegar?

[academiabarilla]

@sathism2003

As final touch at the end of the recipe. We use it to dress the sorbet melon

[sathism2003]

The chest is so cute. Thanks so much for the great recipes. But I don't have the ice cream

Maker at home. I don't really under stand the part:"whip after 10mins in freezer".. Using the machine or just hand?

[eseereoj]

The chef is so cute!

[kittywov]

can you substitute melon with honey-dew melon?

[academiabarilla]

Yes, you can use honey-dew melon, same amount, same process.

what is a glucose?

[academiabarilla]

The glucose, also known as grape sugar, is a monosaccharide or simple sugar with a lower sweetness than sucrose (table sugar). It is used in this recipe for the texture, because it drops down the freezing point of the sorbet without giving any further sweetness.

[gumonthepants]

1. A variety of sugar occurring in nature very abundantly, as in ripe grapes, and in honey, and produced in great quantities from starch, etc., by the action of heat and acids. It is only about half as sweet as cane sugar. Called also dextrose, grape sugar, diabetic sugar, and starch sugar. See Dextrose. [1913 Webster]
