Plum Sorbet

A sorbet base is a combination of sugar syrup and fresh fruit or juice. Since ripe fruits are naturally sweet, a sugar syrup made with 2 parts sugar to 3 parts water is usually a good ratio. Adding liqueur, such as framboise, to a raspberry sorbet base adds flavor. It also gives the sorbet a creamier texture because the alcohol lowers the freezing temperature slightly.
