With the taste and aroma of juicy berries and full-bodied wine, this sweet, sophisticated palate cleanser is the perfect finish to a tasting party or harvest picnic.

INGREDIENTS

4 (6 ounce) containers Driscoll's Blackberries
1 2/3 cups sugar
1 1/3 cups pinot noir wine
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Combine the blackberries, sugar, wine, and water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool 15 minutes.
Transfer cooled blackberry mixture to a blender and puree. Pour into a bowl through a wire mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Stir in lemon juice. Place in the refrigerator and chill at least 3 hours or overnight.
Pour into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturers directions. Transfer to an airtight container and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours to allow sorbet to firm up.
