Need a refreshing summer treat?


I got married 4 years ago and we received an ice cream maker as a shower gift. Today I decided to use it!

Here is my first creation, Lemon Sorbet


The cute little dish was my grandmothers, I think I put it to good use.




What you will need for your lemon sorbet:

1 and 1/2cups of freshly squeezed lemons (about 13 lemons)
2 cups of sugar
an ice cream maker (this is a good excuse to buy one, mine is a Cuisinart)
1 cup of water
1 tablespoon finely chopped lemon rind
people willing to eat lemon sorbet

Boil the water and sugar in a sauce pan to a boil then reduce the heat to low and let the sugar dissolve into the water. Let it chill in the frig overnight.

Pour the lemon juice, lemon rind, water and sugar mixture in the ice cream maker. Let it mix for 1/2 an hour and serve

  1. I have been wanting to make sorbet for weeks, but alas no ice cream maker (I was one day late to order a free one with my stand mixer, too bad).
