How to Make Fresh Fig And Port Sorbet

  1. Combine the chopped figs, Port wine, sugar (or vanilla sugar), and water in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the figs are completely softened and the sugar is dissolved (about 10-15 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.
  4. Once cooled, puree the fig mixture using an immersion blender or a regular blender until completely smooth.
  5. Stir in the lemon juice.
  6. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining fig pieces (optional, for a super smooth sorbet).
  7. Pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  8. Once frozen, scoop out the sorbet and process it in a food processor until it reaches a fluffy, scoopable consistency (you may need to do this in batches).
  9. Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for later enjoyment.
