Raspberry Sherbert

     I love my mom-in-law.  She has the best come backs!!!  We were enjoying lunch together, and about to leave when Michael laughingly mentioned dessert.  Well, don't you know, 2 young boys began to excitedly talk about desserts & how they just neeeeeded some.  Yes, we were getting up from the table when my husband decided it was a good time to mention dessert!  As I shot daggers at him with my eyes, my mom-in-law said "Oh boys, you don't need dessert here, your daddy is going to make you homemade ice cream later today!"  Ha!  That will teach him!!
      So, as we drove home & the boys continued talking about ice cream, we passed a garage sale with a ice cream  freezer for sale.  Wow!  How convenient!  Michale begrudgingly bought the thing & made a trip to the grocery store for the ingredients.  I would like to tell you of delicious ice cream, all smooth and yummy, but my tale is one of woe.  What Michael made was salty & a giant waste of a bag of Oreos!!!  He will never live that episode down  LOL
     Today I decided to take at stab at ice cream making.  After much debating, we decide on a raspberry sherbert recipe.  Our frowning ice cream faces turned upside down!  The sherbert is delicious!  I mean really really good!  If you pour some of the melty raspberry sherbert juice on top of the salty cookies & cream ice cream, it is almost good. (I had to get another jab in at Michael's salty cream)
 
So without further ado, here is the recipe so you can make some of this yummy goodness for your family:

Raspberry Sherbet Recipe:

1 pound fresh raspberries or frozen unsweetened raspberries, that have been thawed

1 cup granulated white sugar

2 cups whole milk

1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

     Place the fresh or frozen unsweetened raspberries (that have been thawed) in your food processor or blender, along with the sugar, milk, and lemon juice. Process until smooth. Strain the mixture to remove the raspberry seeds, by pouring through a fine meshed strainer placed over a large bowl.

      Transfer the mixture to the chilled container of your ice cream machine and process according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once made, transfer the raspberry sherbet to a chilled container and place in the freezer for a few hours, or until it reaches the desired consistency. If the sherbet becomes too hard, place in the refrigerator until softened before serving.
