Notes
Storage: Store in the freezer. The sorbet will melt rather quickly.Tips:
Keep your wine sorbet smooth by making sure all the sugar crystals are dissolved. Take out a spoonful of the liquid and rub it between your fingers. If you feel any grittiness let it simmer a minute or two longer.
Use any variety of wine you like - or even a combination! Imagine a sangria wine sorbet....mmmmm!
The alcohol helps to keep the sorbet from developing ice crystals.
Make it the day before serving and let it freeze overnight.
Put the serving dishes in the freezer for a bit before adding the sorbet. It will help it stay frozen.
Once you've put it in the serving dishes serve it immediately because it will melt fast!
Adjust the sugar to the sweetness of the wine. Always taste before chilling.
If you have to add more sugar be sure to bring the liquid to a boil so that the new sugar crystals are completely dissolved.
This is not a dessert for children. The alcohol does not cook out.
