• Puree the blackberries in a blender or food processor; strain through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any seeds or pulp. Whisk the strained blackberry juice, the cooled simple syrup, and the red wine together in a bowl; chill in refrigerator until cold.

PLUM AND RED-WINE SORBET

Steps:

• Stir together all ingredients and a pinch of salt in a heavy medium saucepan and cook, covered, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until plums fall apart, about 25 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick and zest. Purée in batches in a blender until very smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Force purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids. Cool, uncovered, then chill, covered, until cold, at least 2 hours.
• Freeze purée in ice cream maker, then transfer sorbet to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, at least 1 hour.

Steps:

• Place blackberries, raspberries and half the water into large pan; bring to boil, reduce heat; simmer gently for 3 minutes, or until pulpy; strain through some cheesecloth; return strained mixture to pan; add remaining water.
• Add the sugar and lemon juice and stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves; remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Pour mixture into freezer trays and freeze until sorbet is a slushy consistency.
• Using electric mixer, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; using a metal spoon, fold egg whites into berry mixture; freeze, stirring occasionally to ensure egg whites are evenly distributed.
