21 1/2 oz Cans purple plums
1/2 c Water
1/4 c Dry Sherry
3/4 ts Chinese five-spice powder
Whole star anise seeds
-(optional)
Drain plums, reserving liquid. Remove pits from plums. In food
processor or blender, combine plums, reserved liquid, water, Sherry
and spice powder. Process until very smooth (there should be no
flecks of plum peel). Freeze in ice cream maker according to
manufacturer's directions. Serve garnished with star anise, if
desired.
Serves 6 to 8.
