Grape Sorbet
Grape sorbet is massively underrated! It's really sophisticated and a great choice for a dinner party or a cool treat to enjoy on a hot afternoon.

- 2.5 lb grapes (I used Sable, but you can use Concord or any sweet, fragrant grape) weighted after stems removed
- ¼ cup water
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp golden syrup (light corn syrup)
- 4 tbsp vodka (or rose) optional
In a non-reactive pot (if you have one), mix the grapes and the water. Heat until the grapes are soft, stirring occasionally. This takes about 20 minutes.
Using small batches, pour the grapes into a fine-mesh sieve or strainer and push all the juice out you can. I use a potato masher! You end up with about 2 1/2 cups of grape juice.
Add sugar and golden syrup. Add vodka or wine if you are using.
Mix until all combined.
Transfer to a bowl and chill in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight.
When ready, take it out of the fridge and make it in an ice cream maker according to manufacture's instructions.
Serve immediately or put in freezer to chill.
