From the Tropics: Champagne Sorbet 
Sorbet is the French name for sherbet, long popular as a cooling sweet made from fruit juice, liqueur or wine. Sorbets are so versatile, they can be served as a first course, between courses or as dessert. The champagne added before freezing creates an interestingly flavored sorbet. Use about 1 cup alcohol to 1 pound of fruit or two cups of fruit juice.
This sorbet is easy to make. When the sorbet comes out of the ice cream maker, it can be eaten immediately, although it will be very soft. For a firmer consistency, transfer it to a freezer container and freeze for two to three hours to allow the sorbet to harden. If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a large metal pan, stirring occasionally as it begins to freeze. However, the texture will be fairly icy. If sorbet is too hard, it can be crushed and serve as a granita.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh, ripe, unblemished apricots or mangos.
- 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
- 1 cup champagne
Directions:
Peel apricots and cut into wedges. Place apricot wedges, sugar and champagne in blender or food processor; blend until pureed. Freeze in ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s directions, OR for 3 hours, stirring 3 times during freezing. A well made sorbet will have soft, smooth consistency. Serve immediately and Enjoy! Yields 4 servings

Hola interesante trabajo el que haces, me dispongo a hacer un proyecto radial de gastronomia en el cual voy a hablar de chefs internacionales, especificamente latinoamericanos y su trabajo. Como el tuyo me encanto (me dedico a la pasteleria ), te pido permiso para hablar de ti si mi proyecto es aceptado en la radio. Desde Caracas- Venezuela te escribe una nueva admiradora. Gracias de antemano
