I’m not sure what first drew me to rhubarb.

Perhaps, it was the name.

It sounds so strange, intriguing, even whimsical.

But it isn’t just the name.

From the palest pink to dramatic ruby-red.

This sorbet perfectly captures all that love about rhubarb.

Either use an immersion blender or work in batches with a standing blender to puree the mixture until smooth.

Press the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any of the stringy pulp.

Stir in the corn syrup.

Cover and refrigerate until totally chilled, several hours or overnight.

(Can more quickly chill in the freezer if you check it and stir it every 15 minutes.)

Process in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Note that right out of the ice cream maker the sorbet will have a soft consistency.

Alternatively, pour into popsicle molds and freeze for rhubarb popsicles!
