Got juice? Make sorbet! This easy homemade sorbet recipe uses juice plus homemade simple syrup to make a smooth, sweet sorbet you can enjoy for dessert.
Homemade Sorbet
Purchasing an ice cream maker was one of the best decisions I ever made.
Not only can I turn out whimsically flavored ice creams at the push of a button, but I can make all kinds of creative sorbets as well!
Recently, I’ve been experimenting with different methods of making sorbet. Sorbet can be made with many different combinations of water, sugar, and flavoring, but one of the easiest methods is to use juice.
For the purposes of this homemade sorbet recipe, choose a juice that you love. Today, I’m using one of my favorite kinds of juice, Royal Mandarin Greens Juice by Noble Juice. This juice contains half a cup of greens blended into 100% Florida Royal Mandarin tangerine juice, giving it a citrus tang and a rich green color.
Any of the Naturally Pure or Purely Organic Noble Juice products will work in this recipe.
Once you have juice, all you need to do is make a simple syrup. Then you combine the two and let them chill before processing in your ice cream maker. Simple!
You can serve this homemade sorbet for dessert, or in between courses as a palate cleanser. I have little freestanding spoons just for that purpose.
Kids and grownups alike enjoy the sweet flavor and icy smooth texture of this sorbet, and if you use Royal Mandarin Greens Juice, you’ll be able to sneak in the greens without anyone noticing.
It’s fun to make a pretty garnish for the sorbet. If you’re lucky enough to have edible flowers in your garden, they make an elegant garnish. A tiny piece of citrus rind is quite lovely, too. I like to use a little lemon, lime, or orange peel balanced on top of the sorbet.
This homemade sorbet can easily be made ahead and stored in the freezer, ready to be served to friends and family. I own a tiny scoop that I use just for making cute little balls of sorbet, but feel free to just scoop it up with a spoon. It tastes just as good either way!

I love the way you presented the sorbet! I love that this is a healthy alternative to what we buy in the freezer aisle. Looks delicious. Bet it tastes great too! Thanks for sharing.

I always thought that sorbet was made with real fruits as opposed to fruits. Sounds good though. I always get sorbet when it is on sale at the supermarket. I remember using an toy ice cream maker as a kid that ironically actually made ice cream.I can imagine that the end result must be truly delightful!

First, you have really made me want to try Noble Juice! I think they would make a good replacement for some othe juice brands I drink. Also, have you tried this with Splenda? My hub would love this, but he is on a no refined sugar diet.
Katie
Nope. Not sure how Splenda behaves in frozen stuff- have you tried it?

This looks really good and I can’t believe there is a green juice in this recipe. This sounds like the perfect way for me to introduce this juice into my families diet without them even knowing. I am going to have to try this one out!

This looks so good and refreshing! I absolutely love sorbet! I am seriously so happy that I bought an ice cream maker too! It’s one of my favorite purchases.

I’ve made sorbets in the past but have never thought to add juice instead of just water! It would add a ton of flavour! On a side note, I need to try this juice!!

I really love to try mixing things up and making sorbets from juice as well. I am a fan of Noble Juice and love that it can be enjoyed from the bottle or in a yummy recipe like this one.

I love sorbet but I’ve never tried making it myself – I am not a patient person so I don’t know if I’d make it through the 3 hr. prep time lol I haven’t heard of Noble juice because but this is an awesome way to incorporate it – it gives someone a sweet treat without much guilt!

It is hard to beat homemade ice cream or sorbets! I also have never regretted purchasing our ice cream maker, it gets used a lot especially during the summer. What a great idea to use juice! Can’t wait to give this one a try!

My parents used to serve this to me growing up. Sorbet was a family favorite and still today the tradition continues. Your pictures are truly beautifully taken. Great idea on the green juice. Great way to ensure the family is getting all their minerals and vitamins all in a great dessert! Will be trying this soon

Sounds delicious!! I have an orange mango juice i want to try but we don’t use white sugar, we usually sweeren with maple syrup or honey. About how much sugar syrup do you end up with, do you know? I should be able to sub the liquids if you do. We also have absolutely loved our ice cream maker. Best purchase ever!!!
