Apple Cider Sorbet
"The "apple cider" here is not the spiced stuff you find in the grocery store in fall. It's unspiced, filtered apple juice produced by companies such as Martinelli's. If you can't find it, premium apple juice is a closer substitution than spiced apple cider. Be sure to let this "ripen" for a few hours in the freezer (included in prep time); otherwise it will taste like frozen sugar water."

this stuff is awesome! I added 1/2 cup homemade applesauce (sort of chunky and with some spices in it) to the liquid before putting it into my ice cream maker's freezer bowl. I can only imagine how great it would be with some caramel sauce drizzled over the top -- need to try that next time!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am, to be honest, somewhat intimidated by the community aspect of this site. I don't really wish to be overly involved in it. (Sorry.) I'm here because RecipeZaar allows me the chance to find a wide variety of excellent recipes, not to be social. For me, this site is a valuable resource... not a community.
I say this to explain why I might not be overly wordy in my information here, or in any reviews I might choose to post. Or why I might not choose to review much at all.
However, this is a community, so a little about me to get things kicked off. I am a computer programmer living in southern Indiana. In my spare time, I spend even more time on the computer, surfing the Web or coding Web sites. I also read, although I am not as quick at it as I used to be. I tend toward fantasy and science fiction, though lately I've taken a turn into nonfiction about ancient Greek religion.
When it comes to food, I cook because I have to. However, if I have to do it, I want it to be good. That's where RecipeZaar comes in.
