Strawberry Eucalyptus Sorbet
2011-11-18

The fruit pulp from La Fe comes in 14 ounce frozen bags from Latino
stores and is very convenient. Just 4 gram Eucalyptus wasn't
noticeable.


1/2     C       Water
3/8     C       Sugar
1/4     tsp     Salt
1       whole   Lemon, juiced
10      gram    Eucalyptus leaves, fresh, chopped
14      ounces  Strawberry Pulp

Bring Water, Sugar, Salt, Lemon Juice, Eucalyptus to simmer and steep
to extract Eucalyptus essense.

Add thawed Strawberry.

Chill overnight and process.

2011-11-22: Fun -- the eucalyptus hits the nose but you can't really
taste it.  The strawberry could use a bit of a punch-up perhaps. Check
the texture after softening in fridge at serving time. Might benefit
from corn syrup to smooth ice crystals.

2011-11-25: Served with carbonated strawberries. We can't taste the
eucalyptus but Marisa can; she says she'd like more.  It's a bit firm
and icey and granita-like so next time add more sugar or syrup.
