Boozy Nectarine Sorbet

Place sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Stir, over low heat, for 5 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium and simmer for 5 minutes or until syrupy. Stir in lime juice.

Meanwhile, cut a cross in the skin at the base of nectarines. Place in a bowl and cover with boiling water for 5 minutes to loosen skin. Drain, peel off skin, halve and remove stones. Process nectarine in a food processor until smooth. Strain into a bowl, stir in syrup and prosecco.

Transfer to a 1-litre capacity freezer container. Freeze overnight or until firm. Process in a food processor until smooth. Return to container and refreeze for 4 hours or until firm.

Meanwhile, to make the lime sugar, rub zest of 1 lime and 1/4 cup caster sugar together with your fingertips in a shallow bowl. Dip rims of serving glasses in water then into lime sugar to coat. Use a fork to break up sorbet, spoon into glasses and serve immediately.
