Watermelon and Smoked Tomato Sorbet
I do my utmost to cling onto every second of Summer. Although Autumn in Scotland is possibly my favourite season, I don’t like to let go without a last hoorah! And this is the dish I choose to say farewell to Summer and bring on the cosy vibes.
This sorbet is built on hope. Hope that September/the start of October, brings us the last of those gentle Summer days flooding us in a glow of warm sunshine during the day and cooler nights. Yes, sorbet, is ideal for warmer weather, but I feel that with the addition of the peat’d sauce, the smokiness and the watermelon, bridges those cooler inbetween months perfectly too.
Plus, if you are anything like myself, I always prefer sorbet in the colder months. It just tastes better!
