Flavor #60 - Grape Sorbet

I had been trying how to figure out how to make a grape sorbet that tasted like Kool Aid since I first got the machine. 

There were always barriers to me getting it how I wanted it since I do not use artificial flavors. the key is to use Concord Grapes, which don't grow everywhere and need to be in season. Since I began this challenge, I have been waiting for autumn, when the grapes are in season. However, I had not been able to find them until this week. I wasn't even looking for them and there there were!

1 Quart of Concord Grapes

1/4 Cup of Water

2/3 Cup of Simple Syrup

1/2 Lemon, juiced

The grape flavor is the same grape flavor you find in Kool Aid, Grape Jelly and just about every other artificial grape food stuff you've ever had - except this is the real deal!  Great color too!. A little labor intensive as you need to de-stem the entire quart, boil it down with a little water, strain the heated mixture, chill, add the syrup and lemon juice and toss in the machine.  Totally worth the wait!

Enjoy!
