Cranberry Sorbet
Inspired by Gluten-Free Girl and the Chef by Shauna James Ahern and Danny Ahern I veered quite a bit from the original recipe, which had shiso leaves and an apple added to the puree. I added a tablespoon of liqueur, which helps keep the sorbet scoopable after it’s churned and frozen. You can omit it, or replace it with another favorite spirit.

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, heat the sugar with 1/2 cup (125ml) water then add the cranberries and a pinch of salt.
