Sherbet Trio

I have been dreaming about this delicious trio of sherbet for quite some time and I finally had the time to make it happen. How yummy does this look?! And pretty too. :o)
I was originally going to make sorbets, but decided that sherbet would be so much better because of the creaminess, and boy are they delish! The trio consists of strawberry, raspberry and orange. Enjoy!!

Strawberry Sherbet (from Delish)
3 cups hulled strawberries, fresh or frozen1 1/2 cups milk1/4 cup granulated sugar In a food processor, puree fruit until smooth. Press the mixture through a strainer to remove seeds if desired. Sweeten the puree with sugar until desired sweetness achieved.Chill the mixture thoroughly, then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer?s instructions. Best when served immediately. Can be stored in freezer; leave out for 10-15 minutes to soften before scooping and serving.

Raspberry Sherbet (from Simply Cooking, Originally from David Lebovitz's, The Perfect Scoop)

4 cups raspberries2 cups whole milk1 cup sugar1½ tsp. lemon juicefood processorice cream makerPuree the berries, milk and sugar until smoothStrain to remove the seedsStir in the lemon juiceFreeze the mixture in your ice cream makerOrange Sherbet (from Food Loves Writing)
7 ounces sugar1 1/2 tablespoons finely grated orange zest1/4 teaspoon kosher salt2 cups orange juice1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 1/2 cups very cold whole milk
In a food processor, combine all of the ingredients except the milk, and process until the sugar is dissolved, approximately 1 minute.
Transfer this mixture to a mixing bowl, and whisk in the milk.
Cover the bowl, and place in the refrigerator until the mixture reaches 40 degrees F or below, approximately 1 hour.Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and process until it is the consistency of soft serve ice cream. You may serve immediately or put in a container and place in freezer until firm, approximately 3 hours. The orange sherbet is so refreshing and delicious, the only part that bummed me out is that it turned out yellow instead of orange. The raspberry is the next best, nice and creamy. The strawberry is good as well, just not as creamy. It's a little more icy. All in all I am very happy with the results!
