Title: Minted Blueberry Orange Sorbet
Categories: Cooking liv, Import
Yield: 1 Servings

3 c Picked-over fresh
-blueberries or frozen
-blueberries
1/2 c Packed fresh mint leaves
1/3 c Sugar
3 tb Triple sec; cointreau, or
-other orange-flavored
-liqueur
2 tb Fresh orange juice

If using fresh berries, put them in one layer in shallow baking pans and
freeze until frozen solid, about 2 hours.

In a 2 cup saucepan combine remaining ingredients and crush with a pestle
or wooden spoon until mint is crushed and sugar begins to dissolve. Warm
mixture over moderately low heat, stirring, until sugar is completely
dissolved and let stand 2 hours. Strain mint mixture through a fine sieve
into a small bowl, pressing hard on solids to extract all syrup. In a food
processor puree frozen berries until chopped fine (they will be dry). Add
syrup and blend about 3 minutes, or until smooth. Transfer sorbet to an
airtight container and freeze until firm enough to scoop.

Yield: 1 pint
