Melon sorbet and a rose



I just came back from a trip to Rome. There, I found the most incredibile ice cream, very soft rich in flavour, yet quite refreshing and light. So I tried to reproduce the italian version of a melon sorbet and I am very pleased with the result. It has nice, velvety texture and a strong melon flavour. To be savoured on a summer day!

Sorbet fiesta



This may sound crazy, but I am not an icecream person :-D! However, I just adore sorbets. That may be due to the fact that they are very light and why not, very healthy! So, since it's hot outside and the market is full of fresh fruits why not take advantage of this? I suggest you try this two absolutely fantastic, easy to prepare sorbets. All you have to do is go pick out a nice ripe pineapple and some sour cherries. For the pineapple sorbet I used some acacia honey and for the sour cherries sorbet some freshly grated ginger, just to bring out the flavours. Simply amazing!
