Tips:
- Choose ripe cantaloupes: The best cantaloupes for sherbet are ripe and flavorful. Look for melons that are heavy for their size, have a deep orange color, and give a slightly sweet smell.
- Chill the cantaloupe before making the sherbet: Chilling the cantaloupe will help it blend more smoothly and prevent the sherbet from becoming icy.
- Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender is the best way to achieve a smooth and creamy sherbet. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can use a hand mixer, but it may take longer to get the desired consistency.
- Add sugar or honey to taste: The amount of sugar or honey you add will depend on the sweetness of the cantaloupe. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Freeze the sherbet in an ice cream maker: An ice cream maker is the best way to freeze the sherbet. If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the sherbet in a covered container in the freezer, stirring it every few hours to prevent it from becoming icy.
