http://simplyrecipes.com/photos/rhubarb-sorbet.jpg (http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/rhubarb_sorbet/) Please welcome guest author Garrett McCord (http://simplyrecipes.com/contributor/garrett) of Vanilla Garlic (http://vanillagarlic.blogspot.com/) as he celebrates spring with rhubarb sorbet. ~Elise
I'm not sure what first drew me to rhubarb. I think, perhaps, it was the name. Rhubarb. It sounds so strange, intriguing, even whimsical. But it isn't all just in the name. The color can vary from the palest pink to dramatic ruby-red hues. The flavor, so sour when raw that its pucker-inducing taste is only appreciated by a select few, is coerced into something floral and fruity when cooked. In fact, you would be shocked to learn that rhubarb was indeed a vegetable with poisonous leaves and not some sweet berry.
This sorbet perfectly captures all that makes rhubarb so endearing. Its flavor is accentuated with the slight warmth of ginger and a little bit of zing from orange zest which not only contrasts well against the pink taste of this sorbet (and I would call the taste pink), it actually enhances it. We all found this sorbet a resounding success in extolling rhubarb and ringing in the start of Spring. Elise and I firmly believe that you will too.
