Sounds weird, tastes great. This isn't going to have any real appreciable level of heat to it, so if you're not a big fan of spicy foods, you can still give this a try. The flavor of jalapenos is extremely mild, as is the heat, which makes it one of my favorite all-time chiles to use in cooking.
You will need:
-2.5 cups water
-1.75 cups cane sugar (aka "raw" sugar)
-Juice of one lime
-Large handful of mint leaves
-1/2 inch section of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
-3 medium jalapenos, membrane and seeds removed, sliced
The recipe as well as the process for this is extremely simple. Start by making a simple syrup by placing the water, lime juice, and sugar over medium heat until at a simmer. Once the sugar is THOROUGHLY dissolved, remove it from the heat and toss in the rest of the ingredients. Allow to steep off the heat for no more than 15 minutes, 5-10 being preferable.
Then, strain out the solids through a fine mesh sieve and place the bowl into an ice bath in another, larger container, perhaps a colorful bear-themed bowl.
Allow this to cool thoroughly to room temperature, then place the bowl in the freezer until the liquid is very cold. At this point you have two choices:
1.) If you have an ice cream maker, simply pour in the sorbet base, then churn and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions
2.) If you do not have an ice cream maker - I don't - whip a little bit of air into the very cold base using a food processor or even a stand mixer, then pour into a pyrex dish. Cover very tightly to keep funky odors from the freezer from invading your sorbet, then freeze overnight.
In the morning, you will have a refreshing and delicious dessert that contains no fat whatsoever. In fact, you don't even need to exercise, it burns fat for you. Or something.
Enjoy!
