Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a food processor, puree cantaloupe until smooth. This should yield at least 4 cups. In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups cantaloupe puree, star anise, sugar, corn syrup and 1 cup water. Place over medium-low heat and stir just until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let rest for at least 2 hours at room temperature.

  2. Step 2

    Strain through a fine sieve, pressing out as much juice as possible. Pour liquid into an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's instructions.

Made this for a friend’s birthday dessert. Perfect for those who are gluten and lactose intolerant. I shied away from using the amount of star anise given in the recipe. Although flavorful I’ll use the full amount next time. The flavor of the star anise marries well with the cantaloupe. Recipe is so easy.

this is so quick, very tasty, and - as a sorbet - not as guilt-inducing as other desserts. make it!
