I found this recipe from Southern Living on MyRecipes.com. It’s incredibly easy to make (assuming you have an ice cream machine.) Cool & refreshing, and very tasty! Mine didn’t come out as creamy as I’d like, but that’s my fault. Or rather, the fault of my crummy freezer. It just couldn’t keep up with the hot, muggy weather we’ve been having, so the bowl of my ice cream maker wasn’t nearly cold enough. So now I have an excuse to make it again! Or maybe I’ll try lemon or orange next time. Or grape. Why have I never heard of grape sherbet?
Of course, now that I’ve found Perry’s in the Capital District again, I’m going to have to up my sherbet game. Otherwise, what’s the point of making it myself? That’s a high standard to meet, let alone exceed! You’ll find a printer-friendly version of the recipe at the bottom of this page.
Ingredients:
4 to 5 limes
1 cup sugar
3 cups half-and-half
1/2 cup water
1/8 teaspoon salt
3.) Pour it all into the bowl of a 4-quart ice-cream maker; churn & freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions. That’s it!
