It is officially hot here in Utah. And therefore I am officially miserable. I’m a native of the Northwest and even though I’ve been in Utah for almost a decade, I still struggle every summer when temperatures stay above 90 for weeks at a time.
The only thing that saved me last week was the big bowl of raspberry sorbet in the freezer. It was cold, it was delicious, and it was just what I needed.
Raspberries

I don’t know how I survived previous summers without an ice cream machine. Well, actually, I do know, it just involved frequent late night trips to the nearest fast food joint for a milkshake. The homemade stuff is so much better. And as much as I enjoy ice cream, this sorbet really hit the spot.I think I’m going to make some more.

If you’re wilting in the summer heat, freeze a batch of this raspberry sorbet. It’ll perk you right up.
