The recipe was very balanced. The sweetness of the blackberries and sauce was nicely complimented by the tart lemon sorbet. I love this!

My picky pain in the neck husband even likes this!!!! You can make the berry sauce in advance to just throw over at the last minute. Very good.

This would be so good in summer! Very light and tangy, gives your mouth a twinge. I wanted more!
