Refreshing Orange Ice
This sherbet has been part of my family's Thanksgiving tradition for three generations. We eat it along with the rest of the meal...the tangy, creamy flavor complements the turkey and all the trimmings.—Carol Lydon, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Our family has a Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner tradition that is very similar; we just don't use the half & half. This sounds yummy too!
This tasted good but it took a long time to freeze. It took me two days before I could eat it! I had to freeze it then thaw it then freeze it again.
Wow! This was a hit! I made this for a church youth rally of about 400 people. Everyone was asking for the recipe. When I made it, I did not wait until the mixture was fully frozen before adding the half and half. I just waited until it was cooled enough not to curdle the cream. I served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and poured a touch of 7-up over it. Delicious and refreshing on a hot summer day! Looks like this will be a YouthStock tradition!
Couldn't resist. A secret in our kitchens....for a easy vanilla sauce...simply let a rich full bodied ice cream melt! Simply do the same as the picture displayed with this recipe...the only difference - have the bottom covered with the secret vanilla sauce!
ehlm, You could add vanilla ice cream into the recipe but it would change the consistency of it. Being a retired chef, might I recommend that you take a mini scoop and make ice cream balls - place on a cookie sheet and freeze a few days in advance of your bunco group for ease. When frozen, simply move to a storage container or large ziploc. Artfully arrange mediums balls of orange ice with the smaller ice cream balls with a slight drizzle of dark chocolate sauce in clear/footed glasses for eye appeal as well!
This recipe was amazing! Now I just need to learn how to make it look fancy :)
I loved it....but would like to add vanilla ice cream and then serve it...can someone help me know when to add ice cream? Thanks, [email protected]
It was delicious and easy to make. I did add about 1 cup half & half. Plan to try with peaches next time. Great for a hot summer day.
I made this and liked it very much...but would like to make for my bunco group in July and wondered how I could add vanilla ice cream to make it a little sweeter...I add some in a bowl with about equal amounts of vanilla ice cream and it is delicious and very refreshing...but wanted to know when to add the ice cream for a crowd???any thoughts on this and thanks
this is sooo good,i made it with frozen peach,only becauce i didn't have the orange,and its good stuff "thanks":)
