How to Make Roasted Apricot Sorbet

  1. Combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 cup dried apricots to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Remove from heat and let stand until the apricots are softened, approximately 1 hour.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Meanwhile, roast 1.5 lbs whole fresh apricots on a baking sheet until soft, about 1 hour.
  5. Once cool enough to handle, peel and pit the roasted apricots.
  6. In a blender, combine the softened dried apricot mixture, the peeled and pitted roasted apricots, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  7. Chill the apricot puree in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours, until thoroughly chilled.
  8. Churn the chilled puree in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  9. Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to harden before serving.
