This is a summer treat worth writing home about. Old-fashioned buttermilk ice cream is not readily available in grocery stores anymore, but not to worry because this buttermilk sorbet is so easy to make. Like vanilla ice cream it is a sweet and delicious background singer to other starring ingredients. Here, summer blackberries are the headliners, but you could other berries and herbs too. Try blueberries and basil or raspberries and thyme. Pour the frozen sorbet from the ice-cream maker into popsicle molds to make delicious portable treats.
