Vegan Sorbet

Cool down with this refreshing sorbet, a delightful and natural treat.


Yields: About 4 servings

Prep time: 15 minutes

Freeze time: 2-3 hours


Ingredients:

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen fruit (berries, mango, peaches, etc.)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or agave syrup, maple syrup, or other sweetener, to taste)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice

Equipment:

  • Blender or food processor
  • Freezer-safe container
  • Ice cream maker (optional, but recommended)

Instructions

  1. Make a syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  2. Blend fruit: If using fresh fruit, wash and cut it into chunks. If using frozen fruit, let it thaw slightly. Place the fruit in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  3. Combine: Pour the cooled syrup and lemon or lime juice into the blender with the fruit puree. Blend until everything is well combined.
  4. Churn (Recommended): Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will create the smoothest and creamiest sorbet.
  5. Freeze (If Not Using Ice Cream Maker): Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until firm. For a smoother texture, stir the mixture every 30 minutes during the first hour of freezing.
  6. Serve: Let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping and serving.

Tips:

  • Use ripe or slightly overripe fruit for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of sweetener to your taste, depending on the sweetness of the fruit.
  • Add a pinch of salt to enhance the fruit flavors.
  • For a more complex flavor, add fresh mint, basil, or ginger to the blender with the fruit.
  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, you may need to blend the sorbet again after it has partially frozen to break up any ice crystals.

The Curses Fulfilled: African American Slavery and America's Unfinished Exodus

By -

  T he story of the Exodus is one of miraculous deliverance from slavery, plague, and systemic oppression. But what if the ultimate threat to a covenant people was not Pharaoh, but the  failure of their own heart ? Moses warned Israel on the plains of Moab: choose life, and blessing will pursue you; choose death, and the curses will hunt you down. Among the most chilling of these warnings in  Deuteronomy 28:15-68  is the prophetic horror of the  Full Inversion (Reversal) of the Exodus : that the delivered nation would, by its own choices, become the very thing they fled. The curse is not merely punishment; it is the  judicial undoing of the miracle of deliverance. Let’s unpack how these ancient prophecies found a devastating, literal fulfillment in the historical experience of  African American slavery in the USA , and how their echoes still shape our present. Key Point 1: The Literal Curse – Bondage in Ships (Deuteronomy 28:68) The most haunting proph...
