Blueberry Sherbet

Ingredients:

• 3 cups thawed frozen blueberries
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp. fresh lime juice
• 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
• 2 cups low-fat buttermilk

Makes 8 Servings

1. In a large saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar and lime juice; sprinkle with the gelatin. Let stand for 2 minutes. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar and gelatin completely dissolve, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the buttermilk. Transfer to a 2 1/2-quart freezer-safe container with a tight-fitting lid; freeze, covered, until mixture resembles set gelatin, 4-6 hours.
2. In 2 batches, in a blender or food processor, puree the berry mixture; return to the container. Freeze, covered, overnight. Let stand at room temperature 5 minutes before serving.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW New Complete Cookbook. Summer is here and you want to cool off from the heat. This treat is totally for you. This icy, cold treat is better than what you'd get at you local ice cream parlor and much healthier for you. One bite of this and you  won't be visiting your local ice cream parlor as often as you used too.The combination of buttermilk and lime juice add the right amount of tartness to this dessert. A sherbet is usually a smooth, frozen mix of fruit and /or juice, sugar and water with the addition of milk, egg white or gelatin. This sherbet was so delicious especially when it's topped with fresh blueberries and Blueberry Schnapps which might affect the points value. You can make this sherbet with just about any kind of fruit and it will still be delicious. I highly recommend serving this dessert when your having company especially 5-Ingredient Fix Chef Claire Robinson because they will be very impressed.
