Honey and walnut sorbet
Sherbet made from nuts and honey has been cooked in the East and Asia for hundreds of years as an exquisite delicacy. Unlike modern sherbet, which can be bought in stores, real sherbet is prepared very simply and is a mixture of natural honey and walnut kernels of various consistencies. It can be a thick and dense mixture, from which you can form portioned sweets, or a viscous liquid dessert.
For the preparation of sorbet, walnuts are peeled from the shell and internal dry partitions that can taste bitter. Kernels can be roasted to improve the taste, or they can be used raw, in which nutrients are much more preserved than after heat treatment. The nuts are crushed and mixed with honey in a ratio of approximately 2: 1. The amount of honey depends on the desired density of the final product. Dried apricots and other dried fruits can be added to the mixture, which will significantly improve the nutritional value of sherbet. The thick mixture is formed into balls or cubes, and the liquid mixture is poured into jars and stored in the refrigerator.
Cooking liquid sherbets can also become an aesthetic pleasure, since whole kernels of nuts can be beautifully laid out in a transparent container, pouring honey in parts, which will help to create a beautiful composition.
