Creamy Sherbet Food

MANGO SHERBET

Steps:

• Make sure your ice cream maker's freezer bowl is frozen solid (you don't want to hear even the slightest sloshing noise when shaken). Keep in the freezer until absolutely ready to pour mixture into the machine.
• Into a 5-quart capacity food processor, using the chopping blade (or blender), place all ingredients. Puree until smooth.
• Place mixture into the freezer tub of your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions for freezing. It took only 15 minutes for my machine to churn and freeze.
• With a spatula, turn sorbet into a freezer container. Freeze for 2-4 hours or until desired texture.

CREAMY LIME SHERBET (OR ORANGE IF YOU PREFER!)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in water.
• Add sugar, limeade and salt; mix until sugar is dissolved.
• Add remaining ingredients; blend well.
• Freeze in an ice cream freezer according to manufacturer's directions.

DELICIOUS ORANGE SHERBET (NO ICE CREAM MACHINE)

Steps:

• In a saucepan bring 1 cup water and sugar to a boil stirring frequently.
• Boil for 1 minute or until the sugar is completely dissolved.
• Remove from heat then stir in the thawed orange juice concentrate, lemon juice and remaining 2 cups water.
• Transfer to a freezer-safe bowl mixing.
• Cover and freeze until semi-frozen but still a mixable consistency.
• Remove from freezer then using an electric mixer beat until blended, then add in the cream and beat until combined.
• Cover and return to the freezer until solid.
• Remove about 12-15 minutes before scooping out of the bowl.
