Basic - Sorbet
Sorbet is so refreshing and surprisingly easy to make-plus you can use up excess fruits in the house. Citrus sorbets go well as a pre main cleanser as part of a dinner party - even adding champagne or dry wine. Fruit Sorbets excel as a great light dessert after a heavy meal -served with a biscuit and a few berries.
