FRESH GRAPE AND CHAMPAGNE SORBET


    Fresh Grape and Champagne Sorbet

    The sorbet base takes only 15 minutes to assemble, but packs big flavor, thanks to a double hit of grapes. Add any leftover grape puree to a glass of sparkling water or to a quick pan sauce for chicken or duck breast.
    Makes about 3 cups
                    PREP: 15 minutes
                    TOTAL: 5 hours (includes freezing time)

    Ingredients
                    4 cups seedless red grapes
                    3/4 cup Champagne or sparkling wine
                    1/2 cup sugar
                    1/4 cup frozen Concord grape juice concentrate, thawed
                    Few pinches of ground cinnamon
                    Additional seedless red grapes (for garnish; optional)

    Preparation
                    Puree 4 cups grapes in blender. Combine Champagne, sugar, juice concentrate, 1/4 cup water, and cinnamon in bowl; add 1 1/2 cups grape puree (reserve any remaining puree for another use). Stir until sugar dissolves.
                    Process mixture in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to container. Cover and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 2 days.
