Coconut Lime Sorta-Sorbet
With the hot weather continuing, my ice-cream maker is getting quite the work out and is certainly earning it's keep. This recipe is the latest trial -- and will certainly be repeated. It is dairy free, but seems too creamy and rich to lump into the 'sorbet' category. Using coconut milk as the liquid (instead of water or a dairy product) makes this a refreshing and creamy dairy-free treat. The lime and rum bump up the flavor, adding a fragrant, citrus-y edge without being booze-y. This recipe also keeps well in the freezer: it does not become too hard or icy.

Nectarine Sorbet
The farmers' market is overflowing with delicious stone fruit right now: cherries, apricots, peaches, nectarines. I'm experimenting with sorbet and ice cream flavors and the pick of the week is nectarines. They were perfectly ripe, fragrant and sweet this week. It has been HOT the past couple days -- in the high 90s-- so a light, refreshing sorbet was the perfect choice. Ice cream maker or not, you can make this lovely, icy, simple treat for any hot day.
