A delicate and fruity flavored sorbet, Apricot Sorbet.
I think apricots are too often over looked, but I have to say, look at them, buy them, eat them! They are so delicious and will make any dessert a bit more fancy.
This Apricot Sorbet is ideal for a lovely tea party, luncheons or even a lovely brunch (find great tips on How to Host a Brunch here).
I have been on an frozen treat craze lately, my Raspberry Swirled Cheesecake Ice Cream and Chocolate Malt Ice Cream are just a couple of recipes that I’ve been up to. And yes, there’s more to come!
What makes this easy to make Apricot Sorbet so tasty, is the addition of a sweet white wine. Like I said, it’s a delicate flavored sorbet, not a rich or heavily boozy flavor, but well balanced with the apricots. One thing to remember though, is that you may have to add freezing time due to the addition of alcohol. If you prefer not to use white wine, simply replace with the equivalent amount of water and continue as directed.
