Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 1 quart

Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds Concord grapes, stems removed
1/2 cup honey
2 large sprigs rosemary
2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Toss grapes into a food processor and process for 45-60 seconds, until they form 3-4 cups of a lumpy, vibrantly purple slurry. If your food processor is small, work in batches.

    Step 2

    Transfer purée to a saucepan; add honey, rosemary, and black peppercorns. Simmer mixture over medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes, until slightly thickened and deeply fragrant.

    Step 3

    Set a fine-mesh sieve over a large bowl and pour purée into sieve, straining out grape seeds, rosemary, and peppercorns. Cover bowl and transfer it to the refrigerator. Allow purée to chill for at least 12 hours.

    Step 4

    Churn purée in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Spoon sorbet into a container, cover tightly, and store in the freezer. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
