Make a syrup by combining the water, sugar & vanilla bean (if using
extract, do not add now) in a non-corrosive pot & bring to a boil.
Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat & cool. Peel kiwis & puree
them. Strain the syrup & discard vanilla bean.

Combine the syrup with rest of the ingredients, including vanilla
extract if using. Freeze following the steps for freezing Lemon
Sorbet.

Variation: Kiwi Champagne Sorbet. Substitute 1 1/2 c champagne for
the sugar syrup & omit the vanilla. Do not cook.
