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?
