I got a Cuisinar ice cream maker when my daughter was little(She's 41 now) so I could have sorbet for her because she was allergic to milk. Therewasn't an alternative for her to drink but there was a Baskin-Robbins and they had sorbet but her habit got kind of expensive so I thought I would try to make her some. The recipe in the attached cookbook was for raspberry sorbet. I certainly had to put the raspberries through a sieve because their seeds are large. I only made it once because it was a lot of trouble. There also was a whipped egg while in the mixture to keep it soft. Do you think I could have skipped that step but doing the intermittent stirring? I didn't like using a raw egg white in it. I have a neighbor who is German who keeps talking about hazelnut gelato she had as a girl. Surely that uses a hazelnut flavoring but it has sugar, doesn't it? What do you think?
