Sweet Tomato Sorbet image

This is an old Sunset recipe - remember, tomatoes are actually fruits! I like the presentation of bicolored sorbet for this refreshing unusual amuse bouche - just need to arrange how to store the first while making the second. I plan to try with white, green, black, orange & red tomatoes as the garden kicks into gear this summer, varying color & complexity of the tomatoes with the meal. Will try with different types of basil - Genovese, Purple ruffles, mouse eared as well. Prep time doesn't include freezing time.
