***
The origin of sorbet is hotly contested, although European folklore tells that it originated with the Romans, who gathered snow from the Appian Way, brought it to Rome, and served it mixed with honey and wine.
Recipe: Rosé Sorbet
(SERVES 3–4)
INGREDIENTS
- 17 fl. oz. (500 ml) dry rosé
- 140 g granulated sugar
- 360 g raspberries, fresh or frozen
- Additional rosé for serving (optional)
METHOD
Boil the wine and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved. Take off the heat, stir in the raspberries, and leave to cool. In a blender, purée the mixture before passing it through a sieve to remove the seeds. Then cover and refrigerate overnight.
Freeze the mixture for 2 hours, then remove and beat with a fork to break up ice crystals that are beginning to form. Cover and place back in the freezer for 2 more hours to freeze until firm.
