Sweet Tomato Sorbet
Notes: For a handsome presentation, Shelly Schachter of Carmel Valley uses red Fantastic and yellow Chello tomatoes, making each into a half-batch of the sorbet. Freeze sorbet up to 2 weeks. To serve, let stand at room temperature until softened, about 15 minutes, then break into chunks and whirl in a food processor until slushy.
Yield: Makes 8 cups; 16 servings
