Rhubarb and Ginger is a marriage made in heaven. When using ginger, it is easy to overdo it, so this is a case of less is more.
I love my Lakeland Ice-cream Maker, however so far I have moaned at how long it takes to make ice-cream. Don't get me wrong using an ice-cream maker doesn't lengthen the process. Ice-cream making just takes time.
Which is not the case for sorbets as they are mostly fruit juice or puree, water and sugar. It is said that Marco Polo bought back the sorbet recipe from his travels. Personally, I can't resist a Marco Polo story nor a good sorbet.

Method
Cook the rhubarb and sugar on low heat with the water for about 5 minutes or until soft
process in the food processor with lemon juice until really smooth add lemon

That looks just lovely. Rhubarb is one of my favourite things :-)
I particularly like how the colour of the bowl really shows off the colour of the sorbet!
ah, I found the bowl in Essaouira, when I went on the search of my grand-father's chilhood home.
