Comments: What is Sorbet? Sorbet [sor-BAY] is the French word for "sherbet" which Italians call sorbetto. Sorbet is sometimes distinguished from sherbet by the fact that it never contains milk. It's also often a softer consistency than sherbet. Savory or lightly sweetened sorbets are customarily served either as a palate refresher between courses or as dessert. They're sometimes also referred to as ices or granitas, though both of these mixtures are generally more granular in texture than a sorbet. Source: The New Food Lover's Companion, Second Edition, by Sharon Tyler Herbst The sorbet can be processed in an ice cream maker or simply frozen in a shallow container (a 9 x 13-inch metal or glass baking pan works best). Serve this light and refreshing sorbet with biscotti (Italian cookies), such as Chocolate-Orange Biscotti (recipe found in My Recipe Book in the International Desserts and Treats Category on this website). |
