Follow the recipe for the Orange Sorbet to make a syrup with the sugar, water and lemon zest. (If
you like a very smooth sorbet, strain out the lemon zest when the syrup has cooled). Add the lemon
juice, the wine and the melted gelatine, if you are using it (see instructions for Strawberry Sorbet
above) to the cold syrup and pour it all into the ice cream maker. As it starts to freeze add the egg
white; see the recipe for the Citrus Sorbet.
(Makes 3/4 - 1 pint of mixture)
TOMATO SORBET

Vodka (optional) - 2 egg whites.
Mix together all the ingredients, tasting carefully to achieve the seasoning that you like. The finished
sorbet will be light and fluffy and is good served in scoops on a bed of lettuce leaves, decorated
with a few prawns.
