Picking fruit is always a sobering experience. There is no guesswork as to where your food is coming from like there is when you pick up a plastic see through the container at a grocery store. It’s a different shopping experience, one I can stand behind. It takes more time and effort but being able to say that you took the time and put forth the effort to fill that classic teal, fresh from the farm container of pretty little red berries at their peak is an amazing thing.
What did I make with my berries? Well, I didn’t make sorbet like I thought I was going to. I also made some more popsicles, as I am obsessing over those icy treats on a stick.
I didn’t quite have enough leftover fruit for sorbet so I ended up buying it and using the leftover berries to give the wine a little more raspberry flavoring as if it needed any! This sorbet float is out of this world! Seriously!
This is a simple dessert drink to make — all you have to do is scoop and pour! You can mix and sip it until the sorbet melts or you can eat the sorbet with a spoon first and finish off the wine… The choice is yours, my friend! Mix and match fruits and sorbet flavors or change it up completely with a whole new flavor.
Let’s face it. Sometimes we are too hot or tired to make our own ice cream. I know I am. No one is perfect and with this recent heat wave, I was not in the kitchen at all. I’m thankful for brands like Talenti who care about the integrity of their products and allow me to sometimes shop for food that I can feel good about eating or feeding to my loved ones.
This sorbet paired with the amazing Applewood Winery Riesling was a no-fuss adult dessert that I can really get behind!
