I have not tried this.

Tomato Mint Sorbet


3 lbs. plum tomatoes, halved horizontally, seeds removed
1-1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tablespoon chopped mint leaves
pinch of salt
garnish: whole mint leaves

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Place tomatoes cut side down on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. The skin should have pulled away from the flesh. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. When tomatoes are cool, peel and remove cores.

Place in a food processor and purée until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl and stir in sugar, lemon juice, salt and chopped mint. Refrigerate until well chilled.

Place chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and proceed according to manufacturer's instructions.

Place sorbet in clear glass bowl or champagne coupe and decorate with mint sprigs. Serve immediately.
