This easy sorbet recipe is a refreshing way to cool down and use a few ingredients from the garden-with no ice cream maker! I do them all at once and add the variations as I go. They look and taste like a lot more work than they really are. -Rebecca Taylor, Manteca, California

This sorbet trio was just okay. The flavors were all a bit bland, and the sorbet was a bit too icy.

I was a bit disappointed with this sorbet trio. The flavors were all a bit too sweet for my taste, and the sorbet was a bit icy.

This sorbet trio was a hit at my last party! The flavors were all so refreshing and delicious, and the sorbet was the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day. I especially loved the mango sorbet, which had a lovely balance of sweetness and tartn
