You may have read a recent post in Echo and Hum about our new ice cream maker. It's true, we've been a bit obsessed with it. It's amazingly easy to make delicious ice cream with this machine. So far I have made Cash 'n Carry (cashew ice cream with caramel swirl) and Lemon Bar (lemon ice cream with pieces of pastry crust). Both were excellent. Cindy made the also-excellent and very rich Gianduia (chocolate-hazelnut ice cream). Well, it was only a matter of time before I decided to experiment with the mother of all flavors: Concord grape! We're right in the middle of Concord season, so I took the opportunity to make Concord sorbet. And it totally rocked. Here's the step-by-step process:
After boiling the grapes in some water, add sugar and lemon juice. Then strain the mixture and let it cool before putting it in the ice cream maker for 30 minutes:
Freeze the mixture overnight and you get this glorious stuff:
I think the message is clear: you need to get one of these machines right away. And you need to eat more Concords!

Hey, Martha Stewart! Maybe you ought to clean your stove before you try taking these Good Housekeeping-style photos of your fancy sorbet-making. Look at that big blob of goop to the right of your sorbet bowl! I don't know how Cindy puts up with you ...
