Sorbet, or sherbet, is made just like ice cream. If you have an ice
cream maker just use that. If not, you could make granita.

Easiest way to make granita is to pour the jar of stuff into largest
surface area jelly roll/8x8/9x13 pan that will fit flat in the freezer
and freeze it. Every 20 - 30 minutes take the pan out and use a fork
and scrape the mixture until it is broken into small bits - sorta slushy
looking in the beginning.
