Is an ice cream maker a "must". Would it be possible to freeze the mixture in a tin loaf pan and then scoop out from there?

Why do you need to hull the strawberries?

Do you remove the basil leaves after they stand for five minutes? Thx.

Hi Susan, I love all of your recipes. Unfortunately, I had difficulty with this one: the sherbet base did not set in my Kitchenaid ice cream maker. Any tips? Even unfrozen, the base is delicious!

Hi Robin- not sure how to send you a pic, but at 25 minutes it was fully set.

I do it in my kitchenaid too. Making it now in fact. I'll send you a pic. Make sure the base is ice cold before you start and that you use the canister right away. The Kitchenaid is not as powerful as some others I've used so these two steps are important.

This sounds delicious and our strawberries are becoming plentiful! I’ve reread the recipe a few times, but can’t seem to find at what stage the rest of the sugar makes an appearance. With the addition of the dairy & salt to the blender?

You're correct! So sorry. I made some changes last night. The remaining sugar should go in the blender with everything else.
