I always think apricots are at their best cooked, as the vibrant orange colour is highlighted and the flavour intensifies. This sorbet is no exception and is a perfect summer treat.
Simply churn in an icecream maker then freeze until ready to eat, removing from the freezer a few minutes before serving. If you don’t have an icecream machine, freeze the mixture for two hours then whisk and refreeze.
Squeeze a little lime juice over the top and you have a taste sensation.
