    Yellow Plum Sorbet is an incredibly easy summertime dessert- a super easy yellow plum recipe! Not only will the family (those 21 and older) love it, your guests will be impressed! This one is spiked with Grand Marnier! It really is unbelievable!

    Yellow Plum Sorbet

    Yellow plums, otherwise known as golden plum, mirabelle plum or just mirabelles are grown exclusively in the Lorraine region of France. You can bake them into a pie, a tart, or a galette, or can them into jam and jelly. They are incredibly difficult to find in the US, but a few growers have taken to growing them

    Ok, this one has me speechless, which happens seldom! 😂 Incredible! Awesome! Delicious! Wonderful! Yummy! Fantastic! Delectable! Delightful! Sorry, you get the picture!

    The best part, in my opinion, of the seasons, in Upstate New York, is the plethora of fresh produce in the summer! The colors and variety are just awe- inspiring! I was looking around the www for yellow plum recipes because I got these awesome yellow plums at my neighbors’ farm market.

    This is a nice, elegant, light dessert to serve with a slice of pound cake or a shortbread cookie, perhaps. It’s a bit tart and a bit sweet in the perfect balance.

    It would also be awesome on my Grilled Peaches with Blackberry Wine Sauce! The recipe is inspired by the archives of the Boston Globe from 2006.

    It is super easy! The most time consuming part is pitting the plums. I had little sugar plums. Full sized yellow plums would take less time.

    How to Make Yellow Plum Sorbet

    1. Wash plums
    2. Rough chop plums
    3. Bring water and sugar to a boil to melt the sugar
    4. Add plums, cook for 6-8 until tender
    5. Remove from heat, add Grand Marnier
    6. Process, in batches if necessary in blender or food processor. Cool in refrigerator. Once cool, churn, according manufacturer’s specifications

    Notes

    Recipe from Boston Globe Archives

    Leaving the skin on the plums adds texture, interest and added nutrition and fiber.
    Process in food processor or blender if skin chunks are very large.

      This recipe couldn’t have come at a better time! I just saw yellow plums at the grocery store yesterday and my son is lactose intolerant so we love sorbet around here. Great step by step instructions. Thanks for sharing!
