    Hi Purity, A food processor or blender are good alternatives. -Chris

    Is that half a mandarin? So that must be like a teaspoon of orange juice? I wouldn't even know how to juice half a mandarin.

    Hi Rosemary--Thanks for your question. Generally speaking, a full orange contains about 4-5 tablespoons of juice, so, I would say that 2T would be the liquid measure from the half orange. You can use a citrus reamer to get the juice from the half of the mandarin orange. You could also use a handheld squeezer. Cheers, Char

    There's a solid chance this is the best sorbet I've ever eaten! I went a little heavier on the orange and the nutmeg. Also, I used dark sweet cherries, which may have made it an entirely different dessert after all, but, MAN, that was tasty!
