I've become obsessed with our food processor. Phil's parents bought a new food processor for themselves, and gifted their older machine to us. Let me say, it barely qualifies as a small kitchen appliance. With its multiple blades, bowls, its own caboodle-type storage case, and enormous base with three big buttons, it is a beast. But when I saw with what ease it made the best version of Joy's spinach and cashew pesto, I wondered where it had been all my life.
I ate it with a delicously garlicky hasselback potato, as Joy suggests, and Phil had his with pasta. (And I had the leftovers for both lunch and dinner the next day.)
Since the beast was here to stay, I typed "food processor" into the search bar on smitten kitchen, and drooled over the possibilities. We landed on an easy recipe for sorbet, and then bastardized it just a little bit (but in a way I hope Deb would approve of).
Boozy Strawberry Mango Sorbet
Adapted from smitten kitchen and the cuisinart recipe booklet that came with the food processor
1 generous cup frozen strawberries
1 generous cup frozen mango
1/3 cup limoncello
1/3 cup simple syrup (if you like it sweet; omit this if you like it tart)
Juice from half a lemon
Puree all of the ingredients in a food processor. Taste, and add more lemon juice if you think it needs it. Pour puree into a ziploc freezer bag and freeze until firm. The alcohol prevents it from freezing too hard. Enjoy like it's summer, even though it's 20º outside. Makes two servings.
