This sorbet recipe can come to the rescue when you need an instant sweet fix when counting calories (or not!), or also to easily get kids to east their daily fruit requirements. Most of the time the sorbets that you buy in supermarkets are laden with sugar and are probably made from concentrates anyway. This one preserves all the goodness, vitamins, and minerals in one tasty treat. The only pre-requisite is that you own an ice crushing blender or food processor.

Quince is a fruit that is not used too often as it is inedible raw, but is wonderfully delicious and aromatic when cooked. Quince keeps it’s shape and has a soft texture when cooked. It also becomes sweeter as it cooks and you are left with a wonderful desert which tastes like apples or pears but is quite different and distinct. This compote is full of flavour which the spices bring out and can be eaten warm or cold, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream!
