Ben & Jerry's Purple Passion Fruit Sorbet

Love on ice

by Theresa Regli

NOSHING & SIPPING
Sorbet is the perfect light and refreshing summer dessert, but the flavors are usually the same old story: lemon, orange, maybe watermelon. Enter Ben & Jerry's purple passion fruit. This intense, refreshing, almost syrupy sorbet gets its flavor from raspberry purée; concentrated blackberry, elderberry, and passion-fruit juices; honey; and Vermont spring water. Raspberry and blackberry are the dominant flavors; it even smells like a basket of freshly picked berries. One pint costs $3.49 at area grocery and convenience stores.
