NotesWhenever possible, make homemade sherbet close to serving time. If the sherbet becomes too hard, place it in the refrigerator for 45 minutes to soften up before serving.

In fact, fresh sherbet that has been frozen in the ice cream maker to restore a smooth sherbet consistency. This process may be done only once.
