Homemade Amish Orange Sherbert

- 4 sm boxes or 1 1/2 cups orange jello - 4 c sugar - 4 c water

- 8 Tbsp lemon juice - 10 c milk

 

1. Mix water and sugar together and boil 1 minute, stir in jello and lemon juice. Stir until jello is disolved.
2. Cool and add milk. Mixture may look curgled, but will turn out ok when frozen. Makes 1 1/2 gallon's sherbet

   This was taken from a amish cook book and I copied word for word. It stopped and so did I. LOL!   It didn't say to freeze but my thought is just put it in a container after completing the directions and freeze until firm. So that is what I did when I made the peach sherbert. It looks like sherbert, it spoons like sherbert and the taste was wonderful.

You do not need a machine to make it. no extra mixing when half frozen like some ice creams. just throw in the freezer and come back later and eat.

NOTE recipe can be 1/2ed.
2 small boxes jello,
2 c sugar,
2 cups water,
4 tblsp lemon juice, and
