Method
- 1
Spice. Whisk the pumpkin with 250 ml of the apple juice in the pan until smooth, then add the ginger, spices, brown sugar and honey.
- 2
Cook. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook on low for 15 min, stirring now and then, so the spices lose their raw taste.
- 3
Loosen. Tip into the bowl and whisk in the rest of the juice and the vanilla. Chill for at least 4 h, or overnight.
- 4
Churn. Churn until thick, like soft mashed potato, 30-45 min.
- 5
Freeze. Freeze for at least 2 h. It sets hard, so move it to the fridge 30-60 min before scooping.
Storage
Keep covered in the freezer for up to 1 week; sorbet turns icy after that. Soften for 10 min before scooping.
