Mulberry or Blackberry Sorbet
This Mulberry or Blackberry Sorbet blends fresh berries with a simple sugar syrup and a splash of blackcurrant liqueur or Port to deliver a smooth, fruity frozen treat. The process includes pureeing the berries and straining them to remove seeds, resulting in a fine-textured sorbet that highlights the natural tartness and sweetness of the fruit. It's a refreshing dessert suited for hot days or as a palate cleanser.

Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 5 cups Mulberries or blackberries
- 2 tablespoons blackcurrant or Port, also known as cassis
Instructions
- If you are using mulberries, pick off all the green stems from the berries.
- Bring the sugar and water to a boil over medium heat. Let it simmer gently for 3-4 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it cool a bit.
- Meanwhile, Put the berries in a blender. Pour the syrup over them while it is warm but not hot. Buzz into a puree.
- Push the berries through a fine-meshed sieve set over a bowl using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon; this removes a lot of the seeds and stems.
- Pour the liquor into the bowl with the pureed berries and chill in the fridge for an hour or so.
- Pour into your ice cream maker and follow its directions.
