Ice Cream

[dsrtao]

Orange Sherbet, from Good Eats -- http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/orange-sherbet-recipe/

Changes:

* Used Cara-Cara oranges, which are red on the inside, thanks to lycopene.

* Half fresh orange juice, half from the carton. I got a cup of juice from three Cara-Caras, and I only had three left.

* I used about twice as much zest as called for.

Results:

Everyone liked it. E was upset that the orange sherbet was yellow with orange flecks rather than orange... until Elizabear force-fed him a teaspoon, at which point he picked up his bowl and brought it to the table. He complained about flecks, too, after I explained to Z that they were orange zest bits. We had a nice discussion about orange anatomy.

The zest tended to clump, but I suspect that using a blender would have solved that.

It could use a small amount of dark chocolate on the side. Maybe a vanilla wafer dipped in sin?

I've made orange ice cream once or twice, but I used the whole orange. We've got a potted orange tree (small, very tart oranges); I took the oranges and chopped them up in a food processor. The only part I didn't use was the seeds. The result was very tasty, and actually orange.
