RASPBERRY-CHAMBORD SORBET

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water over high heat.
• Stir occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved and the syrup is simmering, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from the heat. (You should have about 1/2 cup syrup.).
• In a mixing bowl, combine the warm syrup with the raspberry puree, Chambord and lemon juice. Stir well to combine and then let mixture cool to room temperature.
• For faster freezing, transfer the mixture to the refrigerator to chill there first.
• Freeze the mixture in an ice-cream maker, following the manufacturer's instructions.
• When ready to serve, place the sorbet in a pretty dessert cup, parfait glasses, or even champagne flutes; with macadamia nut cookies, and a sprig of mint.
• Voila!
