Amish Ice Cream Recipes

HOMEMADE CREAMY, FRUITY AMISH SHERBET (EASY)

Steps:

• 1. Dissolve gelatin in hot water. Then, add sugar and stir for one minute. Add the rest of the ingredients mixing thoroughly.
• 2. Cover and place in freezer until frozen 1/2 inch thick. (In my freezer, this takes about 5 hours.) Then, beat thoroughly with an electric mixer and return to the freezer, covered, overnight until set.
• 3. I used raspberry Jello and raspberry extract. You can make any flavor you wish, orange, lemon, lime, strawberry... just match the extract to the Jello flavor.
• 4. So smooth and creamy. Scoops beautifully for cones or dishes.

AMISH ORANGE SHERBET

Steps:

• Mix water and sugar together and boil 1 minute, stir in jello and lemon juice. Stir until jello is disolved.
• Cool and add milk. Mixture may look curgled, but will turn out ok when frozen. Makes 1 1/2 gallon's sherbet
• NOTE recipe can be 1/2ed. 2 small boxes jello, 2 c sugar, 2 cups water, 4 tblsp lemon juice, and 5 cups milk will yield you 3/4 of a gallon of orange sherbet.
• This was taken from a amish cook book and I copied word for word. It stopped and so did I. LOL! I guess I should of also been reading. It didn'y say to freeze but my thought is just put it in a container after completing the directions and freeze until firm. So that is what I did when I made the peach sherbert. It looks like sherbert, it spoons like sherbert and the taste was wonderful. You do not need a machine to make it. no extra mixing when half frozen like some ice creams. just throw in the freezer and come back later.
