JULIA CHILD'S APRICOT SHERBET (MOUSSE A L'ABRICOT GLACEE)

Julia Child's Apricot Sherbet (Mousse a L'abricot Glacee) image

This recipe is from Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Vol.2. "Easy, delicious, and available all year round is apricot sherbet made from canned apricots. Timing is about 4 to 5 hours, but it is easier to be liesurely and start the mousse the day before serving." Note: Personally I would use my food processor instead of a food mill and I'm sure you could use one of those wonderful little ice cream makers instead of the freezer, but I have never done it. I have adapted the directions to make your life easier. T.J.
