From Carl Jerome’s cookbook, Cooking for a New Earth. He says, “This soft, delicately flavored sorbet makes an elegant light finish to a late summer meal. There is enough vodka in the recipe not only to add balance to the flavors of the fruits, but also to make this an adult dessert. You can, of course, use sliced fresh strawberries instead of the raspberries. Eaux-de-vie are flavored white brandies. Inexpensive white brandies taste like chemically scented gasoline, but the fine, expensive eaux-de-vie have the fragrance of a field of fresh fruit, the texture of the fruit as you swallow, and a burst of alcohol in the back of your throat. Rare as they are, eaux-de-vie are worth exploring. They are not like flavored vodkas.” This recipe requires a blender or food processor and an ice cream maker. Cook time doesn't include freeze time.
