I Scream for sherbet.

August 1, 2011
 

Where did the summer go and where did the year go.  Ever get the feeling that you stood still and time fly by.  Well let us stop time and do something good for ourselves and our families.  What you don’t know what you can do?   How about some ice cream?  Get out that old ice cream maker in the back.  Make some fresh ice cream or sherbet for the family.  Never did it?  Still in the box?  Well then, you need to open that box clean it out and get the bowl or mixing part in the freezer ASAP.  It needs to be frozen before you begin.  Then after each use, clean it out and stick it in the freezer in a plastic bag so you don’t  get freezer burn.   Once it is frozen you are ready to begin. 

Now you will need some sugar about a cup and 7 tablespoons of water.  Gently boil until the sugar disappears.  Next add the juice of a lemon or lime, or lemon oil or some mint leaves 3-4.  If you used the leaves, when they wilt pull them out and send to the compost heap.  Cool the syrup.  Now add 3 ¾ cups of a juice, orange is what we like.  Lemon juice or some citrus will work well.  Nectarine would work as well.  Yes it is very liquidly.   Now take the bowl or center piece out of the freezer and place in the machine. Add your liquid and turn on.  It will mix very slowly.  Yes it looks like it will not pull together. Wait wait. About half an hour it will be ready to eat.  If still to soft for you place the container in the freezer until solid enough.  Enjoy!
