Rhubarb and Raspberry Jam

This is a German recipe from our Oma, which we translated into English for you. It’s more a preserve (Konfitüre) than a traditional jam, so it will be a little runnier than jam you may be used to. If possible, choose a red rhubarb variety so that the jam gets a nice colour.

Raspberry Rosé Sorbet

Raspberry Rosé Sorbet

This sorbet earns its title as the ultimate refresher, no other word fits quite as well. Each spoonful is icy, clean, and vibrant. We prefer a rosé that’s dry with just a hint of fruit and due to the generous amount of wine, the sorbet won’t freeze rock solid in the machine. It'll be soft when churned, but after a few hours in the freezer, it sets to the perfect texture.

And yes, still very refreshing.
