Cranberry sorbet is not too sweet and a little on the tart side. It's delicious on its own but also goes well with tropical fruit. For something different try serving with cinnamon toast on the side.

- 5 cups (1 1/2 pounds) fresh or frozen cranberries, rinsed and any stems removed

When completely cool, freeze mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.
