Homemade Orange Sherbet

[Marianne]

Years ago, I made a similar recipe using orange koolaid. I could have eaten the entire batch by myself.

This is a three ingredient recipe, canned milk, orange juice and sugar. It does not freeze brick hard in the freezer.

That looks and sounds great, thanks for sharing! DS loves ice cream and since it's warming up nicely here now, I think I'll give this a shot

I always use 2% milk instead of evaporated milk in pumpkin pie, I wonder if regular milk would work instead of the evaporated milk. I am not a big fan of the tinny/metallic taste of canned milk.

I think regular milk won't have enough fat in it to get the same results. I know it would freeze really hard. But I bet it would work if you added some cream to it. What'cha think?

I checked the internet - evaporated milk has 60% of the water removed from regular milk - so it is thicker. They gave a recipe for making your own Evaporated milk that I may try to see if I like the taste any better.

However, if you have simply run out of evaporated milk, it is very easy to make it from regular milk at home.

To make 1 cup (240 ml) of evaporated milk:

1. Heat 2 1/4 cups (540 ml) of regular milk in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Let it come to a gentle boil while stirring continuously.
3. After 10 minutes, or once the milk has reduced in volume by a bit more than half, take it off the heat.

It can be used like regular evaporated milk and is nutritionally similar. from: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/evaporated-milk-substitutes#section2

You can make it from powdered milk as well, just add less water so it's the proper thickness

That is good to know.
But, powdered milk tastes just as bad as canned milk to me - I guess I am just a milk snob.

What about using some half and half? I bet that would work.
