We don't get orange sherbet here, but I've always been intrigued by it and wanted to make it myself. So glad I did as this is awesome and so easy to make! It tastes really refreshing and is just perfect on a warm, sunny afternoon!

I just tried making this yesterday w/a different flavored concentrate juice, it was orange, pineapple & passionfruit flavor. I followed the rest of the recipe EXACTLY & it came out like a sorbet, not anything like sherbert. When I was making it I kept thinking to myself, "how is only 1/2 cup of half & half going to make ALL of this liquid creamy like sherbert?" I should've listened to my gut cuz it didn't turn out right? Very disappointed!! The flavor of the concentrate is great, I don't think it needs as much simple syrup, as the concentrate itself is sweet. Whomever is reading this, if you're looking for a creamy sherbert like at the store, you need more than what this recipe suggests!!

Amazing! Tasted great and was very easy.I agree that it has a very strong orange taste, I think I may add a little more cream and mix it again in kitchen aid mixer.I am going to try it with some lemonade concentrate that we have sitting in the freezer.Thanks for a great recipe the whole family loved it ..even the dogs!

I haven't made this yet but I would suggest that you could use any flavor of frozen juice, lemonade, grape, peach, etc. The recipe sounds great and super simple.

This tasted more like frozen orange juice than sherbet. It needs more sugar and more milk. The orange taste is too strong.
