Either serve immediately or using an ice cream scoop, portion out scoops and freeze. I didn’t do this and the sherbet froze to the point where I could not scoop it easily. I had to cut the sherbet in blocks next time I served.

And for those of you who aren’t going to be going to the movies to see 50 Shades of Grey, Meet My Valentine, is also out this weekend. Scott Wolf (“Party of Five,” “V”) and Courtney Ford (“True Blood,” “Murder in the First”) star as an indifferent husband-and-wife whose marriage has fallen into a pattern of routine where intimate connection is lacking. But when Tom is diagnosed with terminal cancer, he secretly embarks on a mission to find a replacement husband for Valentine and a father for their eight-year-old daughter Phoebe. Wanting to ensure the perfect match, he sets up an online-dating profile for Valentine, which leads him to rediscovering who she is and why he fell in love with her. Along this course, he learns the full value of marriage, family and friendship.
