Homemade Creamy, Fruity Amish Sherbet (Easy) image

Another recipe that I brought home from my time spent in Amish country. A favorite of my host's "kinder", (children) and her father. A colorful addition to your Easter table or for summertime cookouts. So fruity and refreshing after a heavy meal. You can easily make any flavor you wish... orange, lemon, lime, strawberry. In this...

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3 oz. package raspberry, orange, lemon, lime or strawberry jello
1 cup boiling water
1 1/4 cup sugar
3 cups half & half
pinch of salt
2 tb. lemon juice
1 tsp. extract matching your jello flavor, raspberry, orange, lemon, lime, strawberry
OPTIONAL
mix in by hand after using electric mixer: grated orange, lemon or lime peel, a handful of chopped raspberries or strawberries, etc. have fun creating your own combinations.

Steps:

  • 1. Dissolve gelatin in hot water. Then, add sugar and stir for one minute. Add the rest of the ingredients mixing thoroughly.
  • 2. Cover and place in freezer until frozen 1/2 inch thick. (In my freezer, this takes about 5 hours.) Then, beat thoroughly with an electric mixer and return to the freezer, covered, overnight until set.
  • 3. I used raspberry Jello and raspberry extract. You can make any flavor you wish, orange, lemon, lime, strawberry... just match the extract to the Jello flavor.
  • 4. So smooth and creamy. Scoops beautifully for cones or dishes.
