Rhubarb season may be winding down, but there’s still time to enjoy one (or two!) more delicious rhubarb recipes! I’m not much of an ice cream fan myself, popsicles, freeze pops, or sorbet are definitely more my thing. I had never made homemade sorbet with fresh fruit before, so I was really excited to see how this Blueberry Rhubarb Sorbet would turn out. It did not disappoint!

The flavor is absolutely fantastic! The sweet blueberries and tart rhubarb complement each other perfectly, creating a refreshing treat that’s just the right balance of sweet and tangy. I still have some in the freezer, so today I’m mixing a scoop with Sprite for a cool, fizzy drink while I sit outside and relax with my boyfriend. He’s planning to wash the cars, and since I’ve already tackled the laundry, I’m claiming my turn to kick back!

We had such a busy day yesterday, starting with breakfast on the farm in Morrison County with my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew, followed by a pool day for Ella, and then a drive down to Bloomington for a birthday party. After all that running around, today’s slower pace (and a refreshing sorbet drink) is exactly what I needed!

Recipe tips and substitution ideas:

• This sorbet can be stored in the freezer for up to 1–2 months, though it’s still safe to eat beyond that. However, the texture and flavor may begin to decline over time due to ice crystal formation and potential freezer burn.

• Fresh or frozen blueberries and/or rhubarb can be used in this recipe. You can also use other fruit in place of the blueberries to make new and fun flavor combinations.

• For the smoothest homemade sorbet, be sure to puree your fruit thoroughly and strain. Don't skip these steps. Using a small amount of corn syrup or alcohol can help prevent ice crystals and keep the texture soft and easy to scoop.
