Dubba's Grape Sherbet
The base was originally 1 cup of grape concentrate, 2.5 cups of 2% milk, and 1/2 cup of half & half to make up for the missing fat from the 2% milk. The flavor was very strong, so the list went on: 2 tablespoons of sugar, another cup of 2% (with a bit of half & half), couple more table spoons of sugar. Still strong, but we dumped most of the mix into the Ice-20 anyway (it wouldn't all fit).
The finished product is decent, but still potent. My daughter's first comment was "it's not bad, but it's not good either". Oh man, that's something I would say. As always, her opinion was quickly changed as she dug in. She went with a second dixie cup of taste testing by the time all was said and done. My wife also enjoyed it, definitely different than our past experiments.
On Second Scoop: The flavor has mellowed a bit, basically tastes like a grape popsicle now ...well, a milky grape popsicle anyway. You know, store sherbet often uses skim milk, so maybe I could try taking it down a notch sometime and see what happens (a nice ultra pasteurized 1% milk might work)
