Maybe they are not indigenous to the U.S.??? I don't know, but I'm curious now...<br />This sorbet sound really fresh. I might try it actually. I keep telling myself I'm going to make ice cream, but don't do to fat content. This is the answer to that I think!Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441053969652689705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672100529698740014.post-41164216505474183462010-06-06T17:14:18.509-04:002010-06-06T17:14:18.509-04:00What an eloquent way to lead into a tantalizing so...What an eloquent way to lead into a tantalizing sorbet recipe.<br />I love summers...early morning on my balcony...the fountain, the birdie tweets and my puppy by my feet.

So often purchased fruit is less than satisfactory so using dried apricots in a sorbet is a great idea.
