Ingredients
-
1 (15 -17 ounce) can fruit cocktail in heavy syrup (not light syrup, it will not be sweet enough)
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 -2 tablespoon liquor, such as Amaretto
Preparation
-
Place unopened can in the freezor for at least 12 hour or until frozen solid. (It can be left frozen for several months). Submerge the unopened can in hot water for a few seconds to loosen the edges, then open the can and transfer contents to a food processor, using a kitchen knife to cut it into several chunks.
Add lemon juice and liqueur. Process, pulsing on and off until smooth. Serve immediately in glasses or scoop the sorbet into balls and refreeze for up to 8 hours before serving.
