The arrival of spring has me thinking about a few things. First and foremost is the extra poundage I’ve gained over the winter months. Damn cookies. It’s time to get back into a running and biking routine so I can drop the extra poundage. The warmer temperatures have also turned my thoughts towards ice cream…I love ice cream! Obviously that’s not going to help shed the pounds, which is why I recently made the next best thing…a sorbet!Follow on Facebook, CookEatShare or Subscribe to the Free Monthly Newsletter

The beauty of sorbet is there’s no heavy cream required, which fits in nicely with my weight loss plans. I also find it much more refreshing than ice cream. It's light and sweet with just enough tartness to make you want to smack your lips! I originally thought it would be difficult to make but after preparing this Cranberry-Citrus Sorbet I learned it’s in fact very simple.
