Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Combine thawed boysenberries, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup corn syrup, 1/4 cup water and crème de cassis in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to simmer, stirring frequently. Puree in processor.

Transfer sorbet to container and freeze. (Sauce and sorbets can be prepared 2 days ahead.)
