Blackberry Mint Sorbet
Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 cup fresh mint leaves
4 cup blackberries or dewberries
1 cup red burgundy wine
1 lemon juice (opt'l.)
1 additional berries - for garnish
Preparation
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water and mint. Bring to a
boil, then simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about
5 minutes to make a mint-flavored simple syrup. Strain, discarding
mint leaves, and cool. In a food processor, coarsely puree the
berries. Turn into a bowl and stir in the wine and mint syrup. Taste
and add lemon juice if you prefer a tarter flavor. Pour the liquid
into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's
directions until firm. Garnish with additional berries. Yield: 1
1/2 quarts.
