  5. Add all remaining ingredients, liquefy until smooth. Pass through a fine sieve.
  6. Place into sorbet machine and churn until frozen.
    If you do not have a sorbet machine at home, freeze the sorbet mix on a flat tray. Once frozen, place into a food processor and blend until smooth. Return this to the freezer to set up 2 hours prior to serving

Serving

The sorbet is best used within 4 hours due to its low sugar content. Serve on a bed of quartered Ensemble and red grape tomatoes and finish with cracked black pepper.
