SHERBET
Sherbet can be made from nearly all sorts of fruits or fruit juice, e g. from ras-
pberries, apricots, peaches. melons, kiwis etc. A sherbet must be stirred con-
stantly during freezing to avoid the formation of big ice crystals. Sherbets don't
necessarily have to be sweet. Just try a tomato or a campari orange sherbet as
starter of a dinner. A special delight is a bowl of sherbet served in a glass of
champagne.
