green grape/ pernod sorbet


so many peeps came out for pizza night last week, that i'm making two sorbets. it looks like too much sorbet... well, there is just no such thing. so this is sorbet #1. and it has come out of the white gazpacho trial... that grape business has been on my brain ever since. i would say that the flavor of this is haunting.

green grapes soaked in pernod, lemon juice, syrup, star anise and thyme for a few days. took out all the anise and pureed the grapes with the liquid. strained and churned. the grape is so refreshing and making me think of all those who will be starting harvest soon! this would be really great with super ripe sweet chardonnay grapes. the pernod and anise give it the haunting part, depth and mystery and i love it.
