| During our Portland visit we promised JohnL and SWAMBO the recipe for a chocolate sorbet that we enjoy making. Even though we had a cool spell today (it only got up to 102) it was still warm enough to enjoy a stellar frozen confection. Be forewarned; this is a very rich treat, perfect for enabling the chocoholics at your table. Oh yes; to add a little crunch we paired it with a Belgian Butter Crisp butter wafer cookie. Yum. Here is the recipe, courtesy of the divine diva of the Hamptons, the Barefoot Contessa:
1 cup sugar
In a large saucepan, mix the sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Stir in 2 cups water and the espresso. Cook over low heat until the ingredients are dissolved. Off the heat, stir in the coffee liqueur. Transfer to plastic containers and refrigerate until very cold. Freeze the mixture in an ice cream freezer according to the manufacturer's directions. The sorbet will still be soft; place it in a a plastic container and freeze for 1 hour or overnight, until firm enough to scoop. |

| M-m-m, that looks so good. Why did my ice cream maker have to quit on me last month. And DH says no to buying another. For this, I may have to go ahead and get another one soon. |

| bcskye, If it is price and not space keeping you from replacing your old one, it doesn't need to be costly. I use a $10 garage sale electric freezer. It is very old school using ice and rock salt, but the results are wonderful. |

| Wow, your chocolate sorbet looks so rich and chocolatey. |

| It is very, very good. Sally |
