Of course, you can rehydrate your dried berries for pies and cobblers after the peak season is over, but, as Marrone writes, the dried fruit used just as they are pack a flavorful punch in granola or trail mix, and serve as an excellent stand-in for any recipe that calls for dried cranberries or raisins (a major perk ...

The Master Ratio

If you don't know the exact sugar content of your fruit, the best thing you can do is play it safe. A sugar concentration between 20% to 30% will generally produce a scoopable, creamy sorbet. * Add less and your sorbet is too icy to scoop; add more and it may never freeze.

If your sorbet is rock-hard after churning and freezing: Allow it to sit on the counter for 5 minutes to soften before scooping OR. Melt the base back down to liquid, add more sugar, or a bit of corn syrup, or a splash of alcohol, then re-churn and refreeze.

The addition of dairy gives sherbet a creamier texture, but it also increases the overall calorie and fat content. However, compared to ice cream, sherbet still tends to have a lower fat content, making it a good choice for those watching their fat intake.

Common sherbet flavors include orange, raspberry, lemon, and lime. There's also a variation called rainbow sherbet, which is made by combining layers of raspberry, lime, and orange sherbet.

At the end of the day, it could just come down to the intrinsic human disposition to favor rhyming consonants, as demonstrated by the 1939 Edythe Wright hit "Shoot the Sherbet to Me Herbert," in which "sherbet" is pronounced to rhyme with "Herbert" with the addition of the "r" in the second syllable.

What are dippin' dots? They're tiny balls of ice cream (or the frozen treat of your choice), individually flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen. You can mix the balls in different ratios to make other flavors, the equivalent of "swirling" the flavors together in a soft-serve cone. It's silly, but a lot of fun.

There is no set recommendation for how many dried blueberries you should eat per day. However, a handful of dried blueberries (about 1/4 cup) is a good amount to add to your daily diet.

Dried blueberries can be eaten as is or used in cooking. They can also be added to smoothies, yoghurts, fruit salads or breakfast cereals.

Blueberries are a nutrition powerhouse! They contain vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. When added to water, they release some of these beneficial compounds, enhancing the water's nutritional value.

Method: Ice Bath and Hand Mixer

About this method: With this method, you're basically building a temporary ice cream machine. Ice and salt go into your biggest bowl, while an ice cream base goes into another bowl. You set the ice cream bowl into the ice and mix it with a hand mixer as it freezes.

Method #4: Food Processor or Blender Method (best method!)

This is my favorite way to make ice cream without an ice cream maker. Make any ice cream base according to the recipe directions. Instead of churning in an ice cream maker, pour into a ziptop bag, squeeze out all air, and seal. Freeze, lying flat, until solid.

Too little sweetener and your sorbet will be icy; too much sweetener and it will be mushy. Churn or stir your sorbet while it's freezing to prevent large ice crystals from forming. Please note the “Easy (no keep)” method doesn't require any sweetener or churning/stirring.

Too much sugar will not only make for a sickeningly sweet dessert, it also reduces the freezing point so that firstly, your sorbet will take ages to freeze, and secondly, it will crystallize as it freezes. Too little sugar and you end up with loads of crunchy ice crystals.
