1 pound ripe red, black, or prune plums, halved lengthwise and pitted
3/4 cup dry red wine

3/4 cup water
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
8 black peppercorns

Steps:

I had a hard time finding ripe plums, so I used frozen plums instead. The sorbet still turned out great, but I think it would have been even better with fresh plums.

The sorbet was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I'll try adding more sugar next time.

I substituted frozen berries for the plums and it worked out great! The sorbet was still delicious and I loved the pop of color from the berries.
