  Lovely - went really well with the Ginger Crunch Meringue Bombes. It was very easy to make - even without an ice-cream machine - and the hint of Star Anise was really nice. Very refreshing, and would be really nice on its own in the summer too. It doesn't make a great deal though - so if it was to be on its own I think I'd double the quantities.

  Yeah, sounds nice and appears very easy to do. Without an ice-cream engine, for how many hours would I need to whisk it? Can anyone enlighten me?Thanks!

  Made this ice cream to accompany a mango creme brulee i made.. it was beautiful and the hint of star anise was very nice. I don't have an ice cream maker either, so to prevent ice crystals, put it in the freezer, after an hour (or when the edges are frozen) take it out of the freezer and give it a really good whisk. After another hour, do this again. Then after another hour, do this one more time. Then leave it in the freezer, preferably overnight, to freeze completly.

  Easy, delicious and far superior to any in the shops. This was a definite hit in our house,although I shall double the quantities in future as it disappeared very quickly.

  Quite the best, smoothest sorbet I've ever made (or that my ice-cream maker has made). Absolutely delicious taste.

  Oh my but this is simply delicious. I made this without the ice-cream churner - no bother. Don't be tempted to skimp on the star anise because it adds a devine depth to the taste. I am serving this with Ramsey's Chocolate Fondant. I hope the combination works

  Fantastic! So easy and so tasty. I used clementine juice (I squeezed them fresh), and the flavour was wonderful. It goes well with the gingernut/meringue bombes, or is a treat on its own. It's also nice in the Baked Alaska Bombe.

  WOW - really easy to make and terrific to eat!!! Got rave reviews from the friends I made it for. I made the bombe and sauce plus the sorbet (without an ice-cream maker). All really easy to do and so great to be able to prepare the day before - hassle free entertaining! The sorbet was AMAZING.

  Very easy to make even without an ice cream maker! Went down a treat and tasted great. I whisked it every half hour for 5 hours after putting it in the freezer.

  Ideal after a heavy meal but a little sweet. Will half the amount of sugar next time.
