With all this summer heat, I thought the best things to blog about are frozen treats! So what exactly is sorbet? Sorbet (pronounced "sor-bay") is a frozen dessert made from sweetened water flavored with fruit juice or puree, chocolate, wine, and/or liqueur. Although most sorbets are eaten as a dessert, they can also be served between courses as a palate refresher.
Sorbet comes from the French word meaning "sherbet." However, sorbets differ from traditional American sherbets because they do not contain any dairy products. Sorbets are almost identical to the Italian treat called granita, which is also made from fruit puree and water.
