Orange Sorbet
"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!"

Great recipe. My first sorbet, I'm eating some now. It's soo smooth. I added the juice of 1 lemon and a little lemon zest. -
While easy to make and flavorful this recipe is way too sweet for my taste. -
Made & reviewed for my PAC baby! Although we love sorbet in our house, I have never made it before now. I am so happy I chose this recipe as my first attempt - it is perfect! We don't have an ice cream maker so I did it by hand in a few stages in the freezer but it was worth it ;) We ate this in glasses topped with a little candied orange zest & I can't wait to make this in the summer. Thanks Barbara for another winning recipe :) -
Delicious!

So easy to make, and my boyfriend loved it!!!!! A great, simple, refreshing dessert recipe! I used one more orange than the recipe calls for because I had one left over and it was DELICIOUS!
