In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water and mint. Bring to a boil,
then simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes to
make a mint-flavored simple syrup. Strain, discarding mint leaves, and
cool. In a food processor, coarsely puree the berries. Turn into a bowl and

tarter flavor. Pour the liquid into an ice cream maker and freeze according
