Primary Sherbet

Primary Sherbet has been made and enjoyed in our clan for at least four generations now. Simple to make, and relatively cheap (OK, I grew up in California where we picked oranges and lemons off the trees in our back yards, but even if you have to buy your citrus it's still pretty darn cheap). Just remember not to mess around with the sugar and fat -- you must use WHOLE MILK and ALL THE SUGAR as called for in the recipe, or you will be disappointed with the results.

PRIMARY SHERBET
2 cups whole milk
2 cups pineapple juice
½ cup orange juice
½ cup grapefruit juice
juice of 2 lemons
zest of 1 lemon
2 cups sugar

Stir together all ingredients in a large bowl. Freeze, stirring occasionally during the freezing process so the texture doesn't get too icy. (You could probably also make it in an ice cream freezer; I've just never tried it.)

Never makes enough. NEVER.
