Strawberry Sherbet ...

As the temps slowly climbed into the 80's today with high humidity, I decided instead of doing my usual whine I would make handmade sherbet. Strawberries are still available here in NE Ohio, so there was no guess to what flavor I would make. This is a very easy to make dessert, the hardest part will be in sharing.

Strawberry Sherbet

Recipe:

Cut up and lightly sugar 1 cup strawberries, set aside. Place large metal bowl in freezer.

Mix in a saucepan ...
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. cherry-flavored gelatin

Stir in gradually ...
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 cup crushed strawberries

Bring to a boil. Cool. Stir in slowly ...
1 cup whole milk

Pour into large metal mixing bowl, cover with plastic wrap and place in freezer for one hour. Beat in chilled bowl with rotary beater until creamy. Fold in ...
1 egg white, stiffly beaten.

Return covered bowl to freezer and freeze until firm (2 to 3 hours), stirring with a wooden spoon occasionally.

Thanks Michelle, well to tell you the truth until my spell check caught it I had spelled it the way we always said it growing up here in Ohio, "sherbert" ... :)

Thanks, the asparagus pic was in one of my market reports and I was trying for a slightly new look for my blog.
