Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, bring the sugar, water, and red wine to a boil and let boil for 1 minute, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and add the raspberries. Cover and let steep for 1 hour.
- To purée the berries and remove the seeds, using a rubber spatula, press the mixture through a mesh strainer set over a medium bowl or pass it through a food mill fitted with a fine disk into a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
- Freeze in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Variation:

Steps:
- Combine the red wine, clove, peppercorns, vanilla and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain into a bowl. Allow to cool. Blend the plums with the honey, corn syrup and wine syrup in a blender until smooth. Chill for 2 hours or overnight.
- If you are making granita, place a 9-by-11-inch baking dish in the freezer. You may omit the corn syrup and reduce the sugar if desired.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the plum mixture for 30 seconds. If making sorbet, freeze in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer's directions. If making granita, scrape into the chilled baking dish and place back in the freezer. Set the timer for 30 minutes. Using a fork, scrape the ice crystals from the outside of the baking dish toward the center. Return to the freezer and set the timer for another 30 minutes. Continue to scrape the mixture with a fork every 30 minutes until you have a uniform frozen mixture. It should not be frozen solid. If you forget to scrape and the mixture does freeze like an ice cube, cut into chunks and use a food processor fitted with the steel blade to break it up. Transfer to a container and freeze. Allow to soften for 15 minutes in the refrigerator before serving.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy plums. Look for plums that are deep in color and slightly soft to the touch.
- If you don't have a blender or food processor, you can mash the plums by hand. Just be sure to mash them until they are very smooth.
- You can use any type of red wine you like in this recipe. However, a dry red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will produce the best results.
- Be sure to chill the sorbet mixture for at least 4 hours before churning it. This will help it to set properly.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this sorbet. Just freeze the sorbet mixture in a shallow dish and stir it every few hours to break up the ice crystals.
Conclusion:
Plum and red wine sorbet is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give this sorbet a try. You won't be disappointed!
