Recipe: Strawberry Banana Sherbet

STRAWBERRY BANANA SHERBET

4 cups strawberries (2 pints)
4 medium, very ripe bananas
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (about 4 oranges)
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 1/2 lemons)
2 cups whole milk

Place strawberries in a large bowl; mash with a potato masher and set aside.

Place the peeled bananas and the sugar in a medium bowl. Using the cleaned potato masher, mash until smooth. Add banana mixture to the strawberries, and mix well. Stir in the orange juice, lemon juice, and milk.

Divide the mixture between four metal ice-cube trays, about 2 cups per tray. The sherbet can also be poured into a 9x13-inch glass baking dish.

Place in freezer. Stir every 30 minutes until frozen, about 4 hours.

Thaw slightly before serving

Serves 6 to 8
