I love hot weather, and was thrilled when the temperature got up in to the 100′s last week! It meant I had to try out my new toy. An ice cream maker, generously donated by Deni, for me to review. More ice cream recipes and a full review will be coming when the weather heats up!
My favorite summer ice cream is not really an ice cream at all, it is Lemon Sorbet. I love the tang and iciness! So, without further explanation here is the recipe and photos:
Lemon Sorbet
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup sugar
- Rind of one lemon (I peeled mine off in large strips)
- 1 1/2 cups lemon juice — about 10 medium lemons — chilled.
1. Combine sugar and water in saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat and stir until sugar is disolved and the syrup is clear (about 1 minute)
2. Remove the syrup from heat and add the lemon rind. Let sit for half an hour.
3. Remove rind and refrigerate syrup for 2 hours.
4. Add lemon juice to syrup and then churn in ice cream maker. The Deni took about 15 minutes.
5. Freeze for an hour or so, and then serve!
