Recipe - Minted Blueberry Orange Sorbet

3 cup Pickedover fresh
blueberries or frozen
blueberries
One half cup Packed fresh mint leaves
1/3 cup Sugar
3 tablespoon Triple sec; cointreau, or
other orangeflavored
liqueur
2 tablespoon Fresh orange juice

If using fresh berries, put them in one layer in shallow baking pans and
freeze until frozen solid, about 2 hours.

In a 2 cup saucepan combine remaining ingredients and crush with a pestle
or wooden spoon until mint is crushed and sugar begins to dissolve. Warm
mixture over moderately low heat, stirring, until sugar is completely
dissolved and let stand 2 hours. Strain mint mixture through a fine sieve
into a small bowl, pressing hard on solids to extract all syrup. In a food
processor puree frozen berries until chopped fine (they will be dry). Add
syrup and blend about 3 minutes, or until smooth. Transfer sorbet to an
airtight container and freeze until firm enough to scoop.

Yield: 1 pint
