Creating the Homemade Rainbow Sherbet is straightforward. Follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Fruit: Start by making fruit purees. Choose your favorite fruits (raspberries, oranges, limes) and blend them until smooth.
2. Make the Base: In a large bowl, combine the fruit purees, sugar, whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well until the sugar dissolves completely.
3. Divide the Base: Separate the mixture evenly into three bowls, one for each flavor.
4. Add Color (optional): If you want extra vibrancy, add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl. Mix well until the desired color is achieved.
5. Layering: In an ice-cream-safe container, start layering the fruit mixtures. Pour one layer, freeze for about an hour, remove and then add the next layer. Repeat this process for all layers until each one has been added.
6. Final Freeze: Once all layers are complete, cover the container and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
7. Serve: When ready to serve, remove from the freezer and allow it to sit for a minute to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones.

With these steps, you’ll have created a delightful rainbow sherbet that captures the essence of summer and is perfect for any occasion!
