Mulled Wine Sorbet
"A cool taste of Christmas and perfect for a Christmas 'down under' (where it's hot). Also great for a northern hemisphere celebration as it's a palate cleanser after all of those rich festive dishes. Make this one the day before. Time stated does not include freezing time."

I live in Australia, in the Blue Mountains (a national park the size of Belgium) and I really enjoy all things to do with food (especially the eating part). I used to work in theatre and casting in the UK, but now work in an antique/discerning junk shop in Australia. I enjoy collecting out of print and old church cook books and have way too many. I can't stand bad traffic, people who sniff, or white plastic garden furniture! If I had a month off I would most likely be asleep a lot of the time or eating dark chocolate, but If I had absolutely no responsibilities, you could find me at the Musee D'Orsay in Paris looking at the pictures.
