Citrus Berry Sherbet Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir cream and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Stir in lemon juice and zest (mixture will thicken slightly). Cover and freeze until firm, about 8 hours or overnight. Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving. Spoon into lemon boats or dessert dishes.

Steps:

• Combine blackberries and 1/4 cup water in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Process until fruit is very smooth, and pour into a fine mesh sieve set in a deep bowl or a large glass measuring cup. Using a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon, gently press down on the mixture to extract as much liquid as possible. Don't press too hard, or some of the seeds may be forced through the strainer into the liquid. Discard any seeds or pulp that remain in the strainer. Set aside strained puree.
• In a small bowl, stir 2 teaspoons gelatin into remaining 1/4 cup cold water; let stand until gelatin dissolves, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat simple syrup over medium heat just until it is warm to the touch, and remove from heat. Add gelatin mixture, and stir until it is dissolved; let cool. Transfer to a large bowl or plastic storage container, and add reserved fruit puree.
• In a mixing bowl, beat 2 egg whites until stiff but not dry peaks form, and fold into fruit puree. Cover container, and place in refrigerator until it is well chilled before using, at least 1 hour.
• Pour mixture into an ice-cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer sherbet to a large airtight container; place in freezer at least 2 hours or overnight before serving.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and unflavored gelatin. Stir in 2 cups of the orange juice. Cook and stir until sugar and gelatin dissolve. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining 2 cups orange juice, the buttermilk, lime peel, and lime juice. (Mixture may appear curdled.) If desired, add food coloring to tint desired color.
• Transfer mixture to a 3-quart rectangular baking dish or freezer container. Cover; freeze for 4 to 5 hours or until almost firm. Break mixture into small chunks; transfer to a large chilled bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed about 2 minutes or until smooth but not melted. Return to dish or container. Cover and freeze about 4 hours more or until firm. (Or, transfer mixture to a 4- to 5-quart ice cream freezer; freeze according to manufacturer's directions. If desired, ripen [see tip, page ?].).

Steps:

• In a large pitcher, mix together the lemon juice and sugar. Stir in the orange juice, milk, and pineapple juice. Pour into a plastic container, and freeze until stiff.

Steps:

• Puree all ingredients using a food processor or blender until smooth.
• Process according to ice cream maker directions or pour mixture into shallow pan, cover and freeze until firm.
