We have been eating fresh kiwis like crazy.  Well........when I say we I really mean my 2 year old and I.  My 4 year old has suddenly become picky with certain foods!  It is so funny to me because I almost think it is an independence thing for her.  She loves saying she doesn't like this or that, when I know that she actually probably does.  Today my girls were playing dress-up and they were pretending to be 'mean' princesses.   I told them I was going to make them some special 'mean' princess fancy sorbet.  I knew that even though she doesn't 'like' kiwi right now, she could not resist the fancy sorbet.  If you have a picky eater, a frozen fruit sorbet is a great way to get them to eat fresh fruit.  

You can make this in 3 simple steps:

1) Peel your fruit.  (Unless you are using berries - then just rinse)

2) In a blender or food processor, blend your fruit, honey, and lemon juice.  Pour into a shallow container to freeze.  You can also use an ice cream maker if you have one.  

3) If you used an ice cream maker, your sorbet will have a softer consistency and will be ready to serve.  If you froze it in your freezer, then it will be a little harder.  Ours took about 2 hours to freeze.  One trick you can do is to scoop it back into your food processor and blend for just a few seconds to soften it up.  Then serve! 

 Kiwis are naturally tart and if you feel like this sorbet is still a little too tart for you or your littles, add a bit more honey to sweeten it up.  You can also add another fruit that is sweet like a banana to the puree, it will just change the flavor a bit. 

While they were eating their fancy sorbet, I told my girls to show me their meanest princess face.  My 4 year old was pretty good at it............my 2 year old is still working on it.  Ha.  I love having little girls.
