While consulting “Fozen Desserts” by Migoya and google we realized the Michael Laiskonis posted an entry about the math in sorbets in his workbook.

guava sorbet

without comments

The first use of the Musso Pola was short after we received it and we made a guava sorbet. Why guava? That was the first puree I grabbed off the shelf.

The only important thing was to us, that we not just mix a fruit puree with a syrup.  The producer supplied us with a table to Sorbet recipes for their fruit purees

1000g Guava Puree (10% sugar added)
220g Sugar
53 Glucose Powder
2g Sorbet Stabilizer
420g Water
1. Combine all ingredients, with the exception of purée, and bring to a boil.
2. Cover and let sit for 6 hours in refrigerator.
3. Combine mixture with the purée using a hand blender.
4. Place into ice cream machine. Freeze.

We carefully followed the instructions and produced our first sorbet in house with a real ice cream machine. And even it seemed quite easy task it now became apparent how little we knew. The final prouct was amazing and yet at this final point we relaized it was just the beginingand that we needed to dive into the subject much more to understand the process of making sorbets.
