Spring Celebrations
Green Grape and Apple Sangria Sorbet
What is a celebration without a dessert? Today we are discovering wonderful ways to satisfy your sweet tooth without
adding the calories of sugar. Have you learned about Stevia? The leaves of the stevia plant (Stevia rebaudiana) have been used for centuries in South America to sweeten food and beverages. In this country, stevia is sold as a supplement, often in the weight-loss
aisle of natural food stores. The extract, available as a powdered or liquid concentrate, is 200 - 300 times sweeter than sugar, and has
0 calories and is safe for your teeth.

Green Grape and Apple Sangria Sorbet

Ingredients:

3/4 pound green grapes
2 small Granny Smith Apples
1 small Granny Smith Apple, to create garnish curls and lemon juice***
¼ cup packed mint leaves
20 drops Stevia Clear® Liquid Stevia, sugar substitute
1 (500g) vitamin C tablet, crushed to a powder*
2 cups dry white wine**
½ cup water

Directions:

Core, remove seeds and cut the apples into 1 inch chucks. Remove the grapes from the stems and cut larger grapes into halves.

In a medium saucepan, bring the white wine, water and sugar substitute to a boil. Once boiling, add chunks of apples and grapes. Reduce the heat to low.

Simmer the apples and grape mixture for about 5 minutes or until the grapes are soft and cooked through.

Remove saucepan from the heat and add the mint leaves and crushed vitamin C tablet. Let the mixture steep until it reaches room temperature.

Puree the mixture in a blender or food processor and then press the grape/apple puree through a fine mesh strainer.

Chill the strained mixture thoroughly in the refrigerator and then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Garnish with apple curl.

*The vitamin C helps maintain the vibrant green of the sorbet.
**I used a Pinot Grigio, but you can use any dry white you enjoy drinking.
***with a channel cutter or peeler create strips and curl around toothpick and float in lemon juice to keep from turning dark.
