Easy recipe for Apricot & basil sorbet

Apricot & basil sorbet

One last sorbet recipe to end the season well, this time an apricot-basil version. You can of course do without the basil or replace it with thyme or rosemary if you prefer 😊 As for the peach sorbet, I was inspired by Alain Chartier's recipe but I decreased the amount of sugar and I didn't use already made apricot puree but simply blended raw apricots for more taste.
