Basic Sorbet

Place a saucepan over a low-medium heat on the hob and add the caster sugar, liquid glucose, golden syrup and water. Mix together well and cook until small bubbles appear. This should take approximately 5 minutes.

Pour the mixture into a bowl and allow to cool. Add the desired flavouring (see below) then churn in an ice cream machine until smooth and frozen.

Pour the mixture into a Stoneware Rectangular Dish and place into the freezer until ready to serve.

Scoop and serve in Le Creuset Espresso Mugs.
