Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 3

Remove the cranberry mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.

Step 5

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.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks.

Step 8

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cranberry-orange mixture until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 9

Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes.

Step 10

Once churned, transfer the sherbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to firm up before serving.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your homemade Cranberry Orange Sherbet!
