Ingredients
Instructions
  1. 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.

  2. Add wine and lemon juice to the sugar syrup; stir until thoroughly blended.  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.

  3. Ice Cream Maker - Transfer mixture to ice cream maker, process according to manufacturer's instructions.

  4. 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.

  5. Can be prepared 3 days in advance.  Cover and keep frozen.

  6. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
