Beautiful Bodacious Blueberry Sorbet

This blueberry sorbet recipe uses Splenda (or slightly less sugar than most other versions). The resultant flavor is one of nearly intoxicating blueberry flavor. Fresh berries can be found throughout most of the year in produce sections. For the strongest fresh-picked flavor, make this sorbet in the summer months. This can also be made with fresh frozen blueberries.
