Comments are off for this post

I accidentally stumbled upon this great recipe during a sweep through punchfork.com (a great platform btw), the featured recipe is originnally by foodrepublic.com… (they are on interest, stumbleupon, google+, …)

See for yourself: one of the thousands of great recipes…

anyway… here’s:

Five-Spiced Plum And Red Wine Sorbet Recipe

“A great-colored sorbet, and perfect for using up ripe plums. I’ve used five-spice but star anise works equally well; I would also use orange rind in place of lemon. Try adding a scoop to a glass of chilled champagne!”
