Orange Sorbet image

My best sorbet recipe. Sweet, smooth, and very refreshing. This was one of the things my mother frequently asked me to make for her when she was in assisted living. It is the first to go at ice cream socials. Everyone loves it. I serve it with my Recipe #83963. I found this in the newspaper years ago and adapted it to suit my style. For the best dessert ever, serve it in the Recipe #327004. The flavors are wonderful when combined!
