Tips:
- Choose ripe cantaloupe: The riper the cantaloupe, the sweeter and more flavorful the sherbet will be. Look for cantaloupes that are heavy for their size, have a deep orange color, and give slightly when pressed.
- Chill the cantaloupe and cream before churning: This will help the sherbet freeze faster and smoother.
- Use a food processor or blender to puree the cantaloupe: This will create a smooth, consistent base for the sherbet.
- Add sugar and lemon juice to taste: The amount of sugar and lemon juice you add will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Churn the sherbet in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions: This will take about 20-30 minutes.
- Transfer the sherbet to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the sherbet to firm up and develop its full flavor.
