Andrew Emery from Cuisine Magazine has a favourite feijoa sorbet which is made with an ice cream machine. He suggests that if you find your sorbet is too hard and icy, increase the amount of sugar slightly. If it’s too soft, decrease the amount of sugar the next time you make it as the sugar levels in the fruit affect the texture. He also recommends doubling the recipe if you have a large capacity ice cream machine.
