Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, granulated sugar, and water.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and soften, about 10-15 minutes.
Remove the cranberry mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
Strain the cranberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any solids. Discard the solids.
Stir in the orange juice, orange zest, salt, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cranberry-orange mixture until smooth and well incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes.
Once churned, transfer the sherbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to firm up before serving.
Serve and enjoy your homemade Cranberry Orange Sherbet!
