WINE SHERBET FINALE
Serves 4

Ingredients
1 pint raspberry sherbet
1 cup raspberries
1 cup blueberries
1 cup fruity dry red wine, such as Merlot
1 TB honey
Pound cake or cookies (optional)
Mint, for garnish

Directions
1. Remove the frozen sherbet from its container and cut it into 4 individual portions. Drop each portion onto a square of plastic wrap and form into a ball and return to the freezer.

2. 45 minutes to 1 hour before serving, transfer the sherbet portions to the refrigerator.

3. At serving time, unwrap the portions and place each in a stemmed wine glass or glass dessert dish. Spoon the berries over and around the sherbet.

4. Mix the honey with the wine and divide among the glasses. Garnish with mint, and serve, if desired, with pound cake or cookies.

This is an uncomplicated, yet slightly sophisticated dessert, an especially gratifying way to top off a nice meal at home. The wine, even with the spoonful of honey added, is bittersweet enough to balance pleasingly with the sweetness of the sherbet, and the berries lend a welcome freshness to the dish. Dessert and after-dinner drink, all in one!
