Salsa Sorbet

Makes 8 servings

Make this when tomatoes are in season, using the most fragrant ones you can find—or grow. For a fabulous, and unexpected, color, try it with yellow tomatoes. Serve this refreshing ice as an unexpected first course, between courses as a palate refresher or as a cooling treat on a hot day.

1 medium jalapeño pepper, seeded, deveined and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped onion
6 fresh cilantro sprigs
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
