Storage Tips
Store sorbet in the freezer at a consistent temperature to maintain its texture and flavor. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent freezer burn and absorption of odors from other foods. For best results, consume within 1-2 months of freezing. Allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly for easier scooping.
