Yum! That does look like a wonderful holiday dessert, or anytime dessert. For those of us who seldom have leftover wine, it would be worth setting a bottle aside.

Thank you for visiting! It smells fantastic when it’s cooking—exactly like berry cobbler. I know what you mean about the leftover wine…that’s a rarity here as well. 😉

I am totally down for that, it looks delicious! I will never make it, as I am the only person who eats sorbet. Wouldn’t be delightful to gorge myself on it…but oh, maybe it would 😉

It tastes really good, too! You have to make it…it smells amazing while cooking. It’s really light, and I would have gorged myself on it had I not forgotten to strain the seeds. You gotta strain the seeds, or it’s just seed sorbet—ugh! 🙂
