CRANBERRY SHERBET

Meet the Cook: When mealtime rolls around, my husband and our two teenagers are never sure what's in store - lots of my cooking is "trial and error", and I love trying out new things. Luckily, my family doesn't mind being my guinea pigs! This recipe, however, actually originated with one of the boys. It was published in his Sunday school paper about 10 years ago. First-time tasters comment on how light it is...and say they can't believe it's made with cranberries. -Heather Clement, Indian River, Ontario

ORANGE SHERBET

A delightful treat on a hot day. For variation, try substituting other flavours of jello and kool-aid. As my ice-cream machine is not large, it will not quite hold this whole recipe. I put the excess into a small container and freeze it, stirring a couple times. Freezing time is not included in this recipe because of differences in various ice-cream machines.

CRANBERRY AND ORANGE-SHERBET PUNCH



Cranberry and Orange-Sherbet Punch image

For a frothy top layer, spoon orange sherbet over this cranberryvodka punch and sip from the glass -- no spoon necessary.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 1/2 cups water
2 bags (12 ounces each) fresh cranberries, plus more for skewers
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 ounce whipping-quality pasteurized egg white, lightly beaten
1/4 cup superfine sugar
1 liter club soda
1 1/4 cups vodka, chilled (optional)
2 pints orange sherbet, softened slightly

Steps:

  • Bring water and cranberries to a boil in a large pot. Reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Strain into a large punch bowl, pressing gently on solids. Discard solids. Add granulated sugar, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cover, and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
  • Thread several cranberries onto each of 12 small skewers. Brush with egg white, and sprinkle with superfine sugar. Let dry on a nonstick baking mat.
  • Add club soda, and vodka if using, to bowl. Top with sherbet, and serve with cranberry skewers.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but they will not have as much flavor.
  • Make sure the orange zest is finely grated. This will help to release the flavor of the orange.
  • If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can still make this sherbet. Simply freeze the mixture in a covered container and stir it every few hours until it is frozen solid.
  • To make a vegan version of this sherbet, use almond milk or coconut milk instead of dairy milk.
  • For a more tart sherbet, use more cranberries and less orange juice.
  • Serve the sherbet immediately or store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Cran-orange sherbet is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a sweet and tangy treat, give this recipe a try!
