We all scream...

for icecream! Well, orange sorbet. Last night was our first experiment. We pulled the bowl out out of the freezer, attached the lid and set it going. We watched with anticipation as Ryan poured in the mix. I got a bit distracted and forgot about it, while it went around and around and around...
Then it beeped! It was done!
With much excitement, we removed the lid - only to find it was all just sludge. We attempted to re-start the machine, to no avail. We ate some sludge, which was too sweet and very disappointing. Finally, we put it back in the freezer. But it turns out that was the secret. Tonight, we have honest-to-goodness orange sorbet!
Stay tuned for many more icrecream experiments to come : )

I have the same icecream maker and it is trial and error with it I have found. The colder the ingredients before hand, the better the outcome. I have found this site quite useful http://www.ice-cream-recipes.com/ and their recipes have turned out well. I do find I need to put the sorbet in the freezer though to finish it off as you have discovered..unless I nearly freeze the ingredients before hand.
