RASPBERRY SORBET

Steps:

• Put the sugar and water in a pot and heat until the sugar dissolves.
• This is likely to happen before the water boils.
• Do not stir, but instead set the mixture aside to cool and then put in the fridge until it is completely cold.
• Afterwards, mix the berries, cold syrup and creme de cassis in a food processor or blender.
• Whiz until smooth and then, if desired, push through a sieve to remove the seeds.
• You can leave the seeds in if you like a little crunch in your sorbet.
• Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker.
• You can also do it by hand, stirring the frozen edges into the center every hour or so until it is nearly frozen.
• However, the texture will not be as velvety as in an ice cream maker.

• Freeze in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
