Le Trou Normand - a shot of Calvados - traditionally served on a special occasion.... wedding, christening, Christmas etc., between the fish course and meat course, the idea being that the palate is cleared to make room for more!
Trust me this 'Calva' certainly burns its way down! Not for the lighthearted and with people drinking less spirits than in the past, today it's often served with an apple sorbet - un délice!
However, should you prefer a more seasonal sorbet the nest one may be worth trying -
Cranberry sorbet ( lasts ages in the freezer
– so it’s fine to make ahead of time)Serves 8-10 as a small course
500g frozen cranberries
300g caster sugar
500ml water
Zest and juice of 1 orange
Cook all the ingredients in a saucepan until the cranberries are very soft. Blend them until smooth and then strain them. Discard the pulp and freeze the juice in a plastic container.
