Sorbet is big in my house. I don’t really eat it, mind you, but my husband and kid do. I prefer the good stuff (ice cream), but I can’t really have it in my house or bad things will happen. I saw this recipe and said “you know what Martha? I can make this!” And today I did. Mine turned out a little lumpier than the sorbet you buy, but it’s REALLY good! And did you know that you can whip heavy cream (with a little sugar) and presto! Whipped cream! I will keep this recipe and try it with different berries.
