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

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a tart and tangy flavor that is perfect for sherbet. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Cook the cranberries until they are soft: This will help to release their flavor and make the sherbet smooth. You can cook the cranberries in a saucepan on the stovetop or in a slow cooker.
- Sweeten the cranberries to taste: The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference. If you like a tart sherbet, you can add less sugar. If you like a sweeter sherbet, you can add more sugar.
- Chill the mixture before churning: This will help the sherbet to set up properly. You can chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Churn the mixture according to your ice cream maker's instructions: This will typically take 20-30 minutes.
Conclusion:
Cranberry 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. With its tart and tangy flavor, cranberry sherbet is a great way to cool down on a hot summer day or to enjoy as a sweet treat after a meal.
