-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 c Sugar
1 c Water
1 c Fresh mint leaves
4 c Blackberries or dewberries
1 c Red Burgundy wine

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water and
mint. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium heat,
stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes to make a
mint-flavored simple syrup. Strain, discarding mint
leaves, and cool. In a food processor, coarsely puree
the berries. Turn into a bowl and stir in the wine and

tarter flavor. Pour the liquid into an ice cream maker

until firm. Garnish with additional berries. Yield: 1
1/2 quarts.
