I made this using elderflower liqueur - 2 tablespoons. It overpowered the puree somewhat. Also, one pint of blackberries doesn't yield very much sorbet. Next time, I'll double up on the fruit and adjust the liqueur.

I used St. Germain because I had it and did not have elderflower concentrate. I also used mostly blackberries but a few blueberries and raspberries mixed in because they were there. This is very sweet and also delicious. However, I can't say that I taste the St. Germain in it. But I understand I did not make this recipe!
