FRESH LEMON SORBET
Makes eight 1/2-cup servings.
3/2 cups sugar
3/2 cups water
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped lemon zest *
Combine the sugar and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to low and simmer without stirring until the sugar dissolves, about 3 – 5 minutes. Cool
completely. This is called a simple syrup, and may be made ahead in larger quantities to have on hand
for making fresh lemon sorbet. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
When cool, add the lemon juice and zest; stir to combine.
Turn machine on, pour mixture into freezer bowl and let mix until thickened, about 15 – 20 minutes.
When zesting a lemon or lime use a vegetable peeler to remove the colored part of the citrus rind.
