Sorbetto

Sorbetto
(Watch your tongue...)

Traditionally, sorbetto would consist of a tangy fruit-ice for the purpose of cleansing the palate before moving on to headier dishes. Our recipe hopefully served this function beautifully, but was not exactly a fruit ice. It was served very cold, however.
