sugar-free sorbet

We had dinner last week at a friend's (in Switzerland, no less). She served three sugar-free (well, no added sugar) sorbets: mandarin, lychee, and melon. Any thoughts on how this was done? I assume juicing (vs. pureeing) and freezing?

That would probably work. However, there was no added sweetener at all. It was really very refreshing.

Well, you don't need sweetener for the freezing process. The flavor would then depend on the natural sweetness of the fruit.

I suppose it could be stabilized with gelatin and or guar/xantham gum and then kept at a very high service temp like 20 degrees. You'd need a dedicated service freezer for something like that.
