Concord Grape Sorbet

Concord Grape Sorbet



Making this with the Thermomix machine takes 30 seconds - after preparing the grapes. Either way, this is that one rare treat where everyone will ask for seconds. This amount makes about 1/2 a litre or a very small batch, but enough for 8 or more generous scoops.
