The inspiration for this very
unusual and wonderful sorbet came to me when planning a gourmet dinner
and wine tasting. I needed a new sorbet to impress everyone. The sorbet
also need to be wine friendly. This sorbet has a delicate undertone of prickly pear. According to my husband, he gives this sorbet a rating of
10+.
