sugar In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until mixture comes to a boil; reduce heat to low, add cloves, and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely. When cool, strain and discard cloves. Add wine and lemon juice to the sugar syrup; stir until thoroughly blended. NOTE: The wine (or any other type of alcohol) is the secret to a soft sorbet. Alcohol itself does not freeze and adding a little bit keeps the sorbet from doing the same. Ice Cream Maker - Transfer mixture to ice cream maker, process according to manufacturer's instructions. Freezer Method - Pour into container, cover, and place mixture in the freezer. When it is semi-solid, mash it up with a fork and refreeze again. When frozen, place in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Cover and refreeze until serving time. NOTE: Can be prepared 3 days in advance. Cover and keep frozen. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
