Have you heard or tried Palinka? It’s Hungarian liquor that is sooo awful 😛 …. NOT – when I 1st tried it, of course, I totally found it to be awful. Looked harmful and delicious as it was totally clear, just like water 😛 Then a big sip, holy cow! STRONG!
I liked it better with ice and water 😛
That until I found Honey Palinka! Now, this is TRULY delicious!
I even like it more when I used it to make this sorbet 😀
If you cannot find Palinka, don’t fret, you can use Schnapps with similar flavor or even omit it, especially if the sorbet is for kids 🙂
1 dragon fruit (makes 2 servings)
at least 4 tbsp Palinka Honey Peach (depending how strong you’d like it to be)
Fresh juice of a lemon
150 ml simple syrup (recipe follows)
Halve a dragon fruit and scoop out the flesh and place it into a blender.
Wash and pat dry the skins, bag them in a ziplock and chill them in the freezer until sorbet is ready to be served.
Pour Palinka, lemon juice and simple syrup into the blender, process for 1-2 minuets (mixture will turn white as shown on picture).
Pour mixture into a container and freeze for 3 H.
Take out container from freezer and dump sorbet into blender and process again for another 2 minutes.
Pour back mixture into container and freeze again for another 3 H.
Repeat step one more time, and after freezing, scoop out sorbet into frozen skin and serve.
Simple Syrup
1 c sugar
1 c water
