When it came time for Big B's turn to choose a recipe to make for our Summer Cooking Day, he knew EXACTLY what he wanted to make. Homemade Strawberry Sherbert. He went online and researched a few recipes and came up with one to try. He found this recipe on Gettingwell.com. We had fun trying something new and the end result was delicious! I think he was pretty pleased.
Homemade Strawberry Sherbert
2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup half and half
2 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. vanilla extract
pinch of salt
Combine berries and sugar in a small bowl and let sit, stirring occasionally until the sugar has begun to dissolve. About 30 minutes. Transfer the berry mixture to a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Meanwhile, combine buttermilk, half-and-half, lemon juice, vanilla and salt in a medium bowl. Press the strawberry mixture through a fine sieve into the bowl. Stir mixtures together, cover and chill for at least 2 hours or up to 1 day. Whisk the sherbert mixture and pour into the canister of an ice cream maker. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions. Once frozen, dish up and enjoy a nice bowl of cold sherbert. Perfect for a summer day!
