Palate cleanser in a multicourse French meal (6)

I believe the answer is:

sorbet

(Other definitions for sorbet that I've seen before include "A flavoured water-ice served between courses" , "Water ice to cleanse the palate" , "Granita-like dessert" , "Fruit water-ice" , "Strobe (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
