Note

The sorbet mixture can be prepared up to 1 day in advance and refrigerated before churning.

Any leftover tomato puree can be used in sauces, soups, or salads.

Ensure the sugar syrup is completely cool before adding it to the tomato puree to prevent melting the frozen texture prematurely if churning immediately.
