CREAMY LIME SHERBET (OR ORANGE IF YOU PREFER!)

Creamy Lime Sherbet (Or Orange if You Prefer!) image

This sherbet is so easy to make and is always a hit. I got the recipe out of Taste of Home. I always take this recipe when going to an ice cream party. It give everyone a choice that they weren't expecting. The cook time is actually freezer time and will vary according to the type freezer you use. See Bev's review to get the instructions on using orange juice and orange jello for orange sherbet!
