Lemonade Oregano Sorbet

The combination of oregano with fruit juices makes a great dessert or a palate cleanser between courses in a meal. This is both sweet and “herby” with a refreshing taste. Use a hand-cranked sorbet mixer or a small ice cream freezer. If all of your ingredients are chilled in advance, it takes only about 15 minutes to make this dessert.

1 small can frozen lemonade concentrate (about 4-6 ounces)
3 cups water
Juice of 1/2 fresh lemon
1/4 cup sugar
2 sprigs (about 2 teaspoons) oregano or marjoram leaves

Combine all ingredients in blender and blend until leaves are pulverized. Chill until ready to freeze. Pour into freezer and freeze according to manufacturer’s directions.

Serve in chilled dishes with a sprig of fresh oregano on the side.
