Preparation
- Start by placing the mixed berries in a blender or food processor. Add the sugar and the juice of one lemon. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. This step is vital for a silky texture in your sorbet.
- Once blended, pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any seeds. Use a spatula to press the mixture through, ensuring you get all the flavorful juice while leaving the seeds behind.
- Gently stir the sparkling wine into the berry mixture. It’s important to do this slowly; you want to maintain the effervescence of the sparkling wine for that refreshing finish.
- Pour the berry-wine mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer for about one hour. This will help it begin to solidify before you start scraping.
- After one hour, take the dish out of the freezer and use a fork to scrape the mixture thoroughly, breaking up any ice crystals. Return it to the freezer and repeat this every 30 minutes for a total of three hours. This technique ensures a light and fluffy texture.
- Once your sorbet is ready, scoop it into small glasses. Garnish each serving with a sprig of fresh mint and enjoy this refreshing palate cleanser between your courses!
