  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>Raspberry sorbet is readily available in the freezer aisle of most supermarkets, but we think there&#8217;s a good reason to make your own: <em>flavor.</em> By that we mean that this recipe, packed with fresh berries and a dash of cherry brandy, is the tastiest we&#8217;ve ever had. Try it with slices of <a href="/recipes/10946">Grilled Lime Pound Cake</a>.</p>

    <![CDATA[<ol>
	<li>Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until sugar is completely dissolved. Set syrup aside to cool slightly.</li>
		<li>Purée raspberries in a food processor or blender until smooth. Pour through a fine mesh strainer, pressing on the solids with a spoon or spatula to remove as much liquid as possible (do not push the seeds through). Discard the seeds and solids.</li>
		<li>Combine raspberry purée, syrup, and, if using, a few drops of Kirsch. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill thoroughly, at least 3 hours or overnight.</li>
		<li>Freeze raspberry mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions. The sorbet will keep in the freezer for up to 1 week.</li>
