Spiced Apple Sorbet

We dug out the 6qt ice cream maker I bought back in '99 for $13 and never used. We made plain vanilla ice cream for the first attempt (best vanilla EVER by the way) and now that we've managed to get through 6 quarts of that I'm making the Spiced Cider Sorbet from the machine recipe booklet, with a few modifications.

This is for a 6 quart machine, if you want amounts for 2, 4, or 5 quarts let me know and I'll add those.

6 c apple cider or juice (one can of concentrate and water to make 6 cups)
3 c sugar
1 tsp ground cloves (originally, 1¹/₂ tsp whole cloves)
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon (originally 6 sticks)
6 c unsweetened applesauce (one 50 oz jar)
3 c cranberry juice (half of a can of concentrate and water to make 3 cups)
¹/₃ c lemon juice

Dissolve sugar in apple juice/cider, add spices and boil for 5 minutes. Remove whole spices. Add remaining ingredients and chill for at least one hour.

Freeze according to your machine's instructions.

Note, have containers that can hold about one gallon plus two cups handy for chilling the mix unless you are fortunate enough to have a fridge that can handle either the pot you mixed it in or your ice cream maker's canister. (I used a gallon jug and the empty applesauce jar.)

Mine is still freezing so I can't tell you if it's any good yet, but it sure smells nice.

Edit: It is done, and it is good.
