Three new recipes for the Ninja Creami
Apricot Sorbet
500g lightly cooked* apricot flesh (I didn't bother to remove the skins)
25g atomized glucose
100g sucrose
citric and malic acid to taste
Blend, strain and process.
Peach Sorbet
500g lightly cooked* peach flesh (skins removed)
25g atomized glucose
100g sucrose
citric and malic acid to taste
Blend, strain and process.
*Lightly cooking the fruit to 90C for 2 minutes will dramatically reduce the polyphenol oxidase enzymes which create browning and lead to off flavors. This can be done by bringing to boil in a pot, or sous vide (but make sure the ingredients inside have reached temperature before starting the timer)
*This recipe will probably work for nectarines, but will not work for cherries
Apricot kernel ice cream, adapted from HMNIIC
**Consume at your own risk. consumption of apricot kernels in large amounts can lead to poisoning. I cannot confirm the safety of this recipe**
Use the Blank Slate Philadelphia Ice Cream recipe at 66% of original weight. Use 50% of the recommended glucose or omit. After bringing the cream mixture up to temperature, add 25 roasted apricot kernels and allow to infuse for 30 minutes before straining out.

Apricot and peach sorbets were perfect. The apricot kernel I would probably not do again, not worth it when almond would get a similar flavor with less effort and safety concerns. All 3 together were a bit too sweet, if I served them together again I'd cut back the sweetness or add an acidic component
