Kiwi Sherbet

Submitted by Honey Sweet

"Kiwifruit have been maligned because they were overused in nouvelle cuisine of the seventies. They do have a cool flavor, like a blend of bananas and peaches. All of the commercially produced kiwifruit in the United States comes from California. Kiwis flavored with a dash of Campari make a beautiful green sherbet. You may, if you wish, force the purée through a very fine mesh sieve to remove the tiny seeds, but this is a refinement and not essential."
