Raspberry Rose Sorbet

I have this theory about baby food and it goes something like this...I'll start them on all of the hard stuff first. The peas and the green beans, broccoli, and maybe even kale, and when they become toddlers they will be good eaters.

The kind of eaters who don't mind eating a salad with their dinner and who won't freak out over a speck of green something-or-other in their rice. Oh, how naive I must be, am I right?

***Excuse the pause while I scoop this here sorbet***

Back to baby food. As my girlfriend Lexi warned me, the Goldfish are inevitable. Ha! Well, for now the twins love zucchini, and avocado, and even peas! Praise The Lord, peas!

They have no idea that I am currently sitting here savoring bites of this luscious Raspberry Rose Sorbet. They don't know about the good stuff. The berries and the bananas, the pears and the peaches, the fancy-shmancy sorbets and artisanal ice creams of the world...well, not yet at least! I'm not going to tell them either. And until they start gagging on their green smoothies we'll keep this sorbet recipe a secret, deal?

Notes

Rose water: I would start with 1 teaspoon of rose water up to 1 tablespoon to taste. I used Nielsen Massey Rose Water and it's very strong so 1 teaspoon is plenty! Taste your base, you can always add more.
