Basic Sorbet

From the Dairy Free cookbook

3 c. fruit or vegetable puree + 1 c. Sorbet Syrup

OR

2 c. fruit juice + 2 c. Sorbet Syrup

Freeze in a cake pan for 30 minutes.  Thaw for 10 minutes, pour into chilled bowl, and beat mixture for 3 minutes.  Then spoon into paper-lined muffin cups and freeze.

Sorbet Syrup recipe:

Equal parts water and sugar:  heat to dissolve sugar without boiling.  Chill.  2/3 c. of each makes 1 c. syrup.

Interesting...but not that great.  Used banana, blueberries, and spinach for the puree.
