Directions for both sorbets:

- When completely frozen, break apart and put in food processor. Process until ice cream consistency. (You may have to open processor and move pieces around with a knife or spoon several times.)

Want an easy fancy dessert? After you finish making the sorbets, smooth them into the Zoku Mini Pop Maker, but leave out the sticks. Drizzle a plate with chocolate or fruit sauce, and unmold 2 or 3 sorbet balls onto each plate.
