I made one with 1 punnet of strawberries, 1 passionfruit (sieved) and 1 nectarine, it was nice and light, and very refreshing!

I did a similar one the other day for unexpected guests. From memory I think I used a banana, kiwi fruit, few strawberries and 2 squishy peaches. It was beautiful.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

I prefer the sorbets with the egg white (or substitute), but we had a preg lady over so gave the "no egg" replacer a try, worked just as well as the actual egg white, is cheaper, and sits better with us given its not raw egg.  So have used egg replacer ever since.
Jules what amount do you use and do you add water to it or use just the powder?

Has anyone used rockmelon for sorbet? I have one here that needs using up.
I have used it quite a few times at demos - it's very summery.  ;)

At cooking classes they only ever use one of those little meringue 'nests' you can buy in a pack of 10 in case there is someone pregnant in the audience.  :)

That's a good tip, Nay-Nay.  I have quite a few pregnant friends at the moment.
