<\/a><\/p>\n During these dog days of summer, there is absolutely nothing that cools you down faster than an ice-cold fruit sorbet. Refreshing and flavorful, they’re also easy to make with a flavor range limited only to your imagination. Stick your head in the fridge (another fast way to lower your body heat index) and use whatever fruits you have on hand to conjure a refreshing sorbet. And, in it’s dairy-free, naturally gluten-free, low fat, heart healthy goodness, you can savor this frozen treat all day, with no guilt, and know that you’re eating at least one of the color of the rainbow, too.<\/p>\n With summer heat finally reaching Southern California, I decided it was time to excavate the ice cream maker from its moving box, especially after being inspired by a peachy-keen Peach Prosecco Bellini sorbet that I had seen on my friend Jamie’s blog (Life’s a Feast<\/a>). The past few months of her life seem to mirror mine with the elation and excitement of buying a new home, the ordeal of packing and moving, joyful time spent traveling and exploring with our kids home for the summer, and birthdays and anniversary celebrations that punctuate the weeks with love and joy while providing a welcome break from construction dust.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A Bellini is a peachy version of the classic champagne cocktail,\u00a0created by Guiseppe Cipriani, founder of Harry’s Bar in Venice, Italy. The original Bellini is a mixture\u00a0of sparkling wine (traditionally Prosecco) and peach pur\u00e9e often served at celebrations. Even though champagne is commonly used in the states, to be true to the lovely Bellini, I purchased a bottle of Prosecco but, bewitched by their seductive fragrance, was swayed to veer from the traditional peach by the flat of unbelievably juicy LeGrand nectarines that I helped pick on a recent grower tour.<\/p>\n
