I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my sorbet turned out icy. I think I might have over-churned it.

I had some trouble getting the sorbet to freeze properly. I think I might have used too much liquid.

This sorbet was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
