Grape Sorbet

 

Organic grapes are still available so I decided to make sorbet.  I just checked out The Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz from the library.  His recipe called for corn syrup.  I am not a fan of corn syrup so, I pulled out my book Gourmet Sweets Desserts for Every Occasion and combined the two recipes.
