Ingredients

Directions

  1. Wash and dry the red seedless grapes.
  2. Puree the grapes in a food processor until smooth.
  3. Strain the grape puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup to remove seeds and pulp.
  4. If necessary, add enough cold water to the strained juice to reach a total volume of 1 1/2 cups.
  5. In a bowl, combine the grape juice mixture, dry white wine, fresh lemon juice, and crème de cassis. Stir well to blend.
  6. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

Note

For best texture, ensure the grape juice is fully strained to avoid ice crystals from pulp.

If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow dish and stir vigorously every 30 minutes for the first few hours to break up ice crystals.

Garnish with fresh grapes and thin strips of lemon zest for a polished presentation.

This sorbet contains alcohol, so it may not be suitable for all guests. The alcohol content helps keep the sorbet softer than traditional ice cream.
