Rhubarb Rose Sorbet
I’ll be honest. I’m not normally the greatest fan of sorbets – unless the fan is on at full blast and it’s terribly hot outside. Last year during our heat-wave in Paris, I discovered a rhubarb and rose sorbet at our popular French frozen-food store, Picard. I was so hooked, I’d marked it in my diary to make my own homemade version as soon as it was rhubarb season. Well, the time has come!
Rhubarb & Rose for Mother’s Day
Now I’m hooked on this Rhubarb Rose Sorbet without a heatwave. It’s also a perfect dessert to serve for Mother’s Day, as it can be made in advance. Here I served it with delicious crunchy almond Tuiles (see the recipe video here) – one of my favourite, quickest and easiest recipes in Teatime in Paris, plus rhubarb chips. Don’t forget a bunch of roses on the side for Mum.
I adore sorbet but have never tried it with rhubarb. This looks so delicious and refreshing, it will be on my list for this summer.
I know you adore rhubarb, Janice – so this is for you! I can’t wait for rhubarb season to make it again! Thanks for popping in x
What a great flavor combo, Jill. Wishing my scrawny rhubarb plants and take off!!!!
Keeping fingers crossed for garden blast-off, Liz, since your rhubarb needs to know this sorbet 😀
I love the sound of this, Jill! And I need to get some Monin rose syrup- their lavender syrup is my favorite!
I totally agree with you, David. Have you tried their Elderflower syrup too? I use it with strawberries in éclairs in Teatime in Paris… it’s divine.
I wish I could have Mother’s Day all over again. The rhubarb and rose sorbet I want right now, even the one from Picard. Ah well, no one has it here so I will just have to make it myself from the rhubarb in the garden. Thanks for the recipe Jill.
Lucky you if you have garden rhubarb, June – I’m jealous! I just appreciate what they give us at the market.
I missed UK Mother’s Day (well, I didn’t decide on that one, it’s the kids that decide) and so looking forward to celebrating it finally at the end May with the French. And I’ve made the sorbet myself in advance if anyone forgets 😉
