The main differences are that sorbet is usually dairy-free and most often vegan. Sometimes, recipes will include honey or milk products, but this isn\u2019t the norm. The process for churning the sorbet can be done a number of ways. The traditional method would be to churn it like ice cream, as in this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/lemon-sorbet\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/lemon-sorbet\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recipe for lemon sorbet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Another way is to make a pureed mixture, pour it into a pan and let it freeze, stirring every 30 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Do you need an ice cream maker to make sorbet?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nope! When learning how to make watermelon sorbet, an ice cream or sorbet maker is helpful, though it\u2019s not required. But if you\u2019re curious, here\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-use-ice-cream-maker\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-use-ice-cream-maker\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to use an ice cream maker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can you use other acids instead of lemon juice?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can swap out the lemon juice for some freshly squeezed lime or orange juice. While citrus juices are most commonly used in sorbets, you can also try balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar for a unique twist\u2014start off with a tablespoon, and taste as you go to ensure the sorbet base flavor is to your preference.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This three-ingredient watermelon sorbet is so tasty, you won&#8217;t be able to keep enough watermelon on hand to match the demand.
