It’s also a fantastic way to use up any excess summer produce you might have on hand.
Celebrating a culinary adventure through the local farmer’s markets, with a farmer’s market inspired Strawberry Apple Rhubarb sorbet!
Have you made homemade ice cream or sorbet before? It is the best:
- Super Creamy Mint Chip Ice Cream

- Homemade Bag Ice Cream
With this warmer weather I know farmer’s markets will soon be populating city parks, and taking up weekends with their siren’s call to take a culinary adventure.
I recently happened upon a gorgeous local farmer’s market, and was blown away by all the beautiful fresh produce, not to mention the handmade jams, jellies, raw local honey, fresh pressed juices, pastries, and more! I decided to spend the day and explore…with my tastebuds.
As a total foodie, I couldn’t help myself, I browsed, and munched, and loaded up my reusable shopping bags with fresh golden and red beets, colorful heads of cauliflower, and all sorts of other goodies.
My youngest went totally crazy for the purple cauliflower. Trust me, if you want to get your kids to eat more veggies, take them to a farmer’s market, and let them pick out their favorite weirdly colored veggies!
Nestled amongst the other brightly colored veggies, I spotted some freshly picked Rhubarb! I had to buy some. I wasn’t sure what I would make, but I knew I couldn’t go home without it.
I kept browsing the stalls, and eating my way across the market, all the while thinking about what I was going to make with my rhubarb. Tarts? Pies? Jams? Oh the possibilities.
But as that was not the case, I can now happily say it is a sorbet you don’t want to live without. And so I bring you my version of Farmer’s Market Strawberry Apple Rhubarb Sorbet. Obviously I figured out how to use that rhubarb!
And what an amazing way to use it too…
And so I did and made this delightful sorbet. It is ridiculously easy to make, and tastes awesome.
What You Need
- Rhubarb
- Apple Juice
- Honey
- Strawberries
Tips for Perfect Sorbet
- Adjust the Sweetness: Depending on the ripeness of your fruit, you may need to adjust the amount of sugar. Taste the mixture before freezing and add more sugar if needed.
- Alcohol for Smoothness: Add a tablespoon of vodka or other clear spirits to the mixture before freezing. This can help prevent the sorbet from becoming too icy and hard.
- Flavor Variations: Experiment with different fruit combinations, such as adding raspberries or swapping the apple for pear.
Serving Suggestions
- Dessert Garnish: Top with fresh berries, a sprig of mint, or a dollop of whipped cream for an elegant presentation.
- Summer Parties: Serve this sorbet as a light and refreshing dessert at summer barbecues or picnics.
- Beverage Pairing: Pair with a glass of sparkling water or a light, fruity wine for a delightful treat.
So grab a bowl or a cone and dig in with me!
