-
3/4 cup dry red wine
-
3/4 cup sugar
-
3/4 cup water

Recipe Method
1. Stir together all ingredients and a
pinch of
salt in a heavy medium
saucepan and cook, covered, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until plums fall apart, about 25 minutes. Discard
cinnamon stick and
zest.
Puree in batches in a
blender until very smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Force
puree through a fine-mesh
sieve into a bowl, discarding solids. Cool, uncovered, then chill, covered, until cold, at least 2 hours.
2. Freeze puree in ice cream maker, then transfer sorbet to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, at least 1 hour.
Cook's notes:
1. Plum puree can be chilled up to 1 day.
2. Sorbet keeps, frozen, 1 week.
