I've discovered a fantastic new cookbook to help feed my homemade ice cream addiction - it's called The Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz. You'll be seeing lots of his recipes on the blog in the coming months. First up was the banana-blueberry sorbet. It is fruity, refreshing, and simple - basically fruit, water and sugar, so much healthier than the creamy stuff. But don't worry, the next recipe I want to try from the book is chocolate peanut butter ice cream, which is certainly NOT figure friendly.Makes about 1 quart
1 medium-sized ripe banana, peeled
2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen (I used fresh)
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Cut the banana into chunks and puree in a blender or food processor with the blueberries, water, sugar and lime juice until smooth. Chill the mixture thoroughly, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

This is a GREAT sorbet - thanks for bringing it tonight and I have a little leftover for myself - yay!
yum yum yum!
I made this tonight and substituted sugar splenda blend for the sugar and cut the calories. It was delish!
I am working on a post now using one of his recipes - just not ice cream. I'll have to try this one...better yet, I'll call your mom for a sample:)
