Blackcurrant Sorbet

Posted 2014-07-24 by Bastion Harrison ⇒ follow

Sorbet was first believed to be introduced to Europe in the thirteenth century by Marco Polo, who brought it back to Italy from China. It reached France in the sixteenth century when Catherine de' Medici moved there to marry the Duke of Orleans, and eventually reached England by the end of the seventeenth century.

Made with four simple ingredients, this blackcurrant sorbet is a fruity delight, and the perfect healthy alternative to ice cream. Based on the brands I used, it is only 35 calories per serving.
