Lemon Sorbet Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Lemons

   Cut the tops off the lemons and scoop out the insides using a small spoon, creating lemon cups. Set aside the lemon flesh for another use, if desired.

2. 2

   Make the Lemon Syrup

   In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

3. 3

   Juicing the Lemons

   Juice the scooped lemons until you have about 1 cup of lemon juice. Strain the juice to remove any seeds and pulp.

4. 4

   Combine and Freeze

   In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled sugar syrup, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and pour the mixture into a shallow dish. Place in the freezer.

5. 5

   Scrape to Fluff

   After 1 hour, use a fork to scrape the mixture to create a fluffy texture. Return to the freezer and repeat the scraping process every 30 minutes until the sorbet is fully frozen and has a light, fluffy texture (approximately 3-4 hours total).

6. 6

   Serve

   Scoop the lemon sorbet into the prepared lemon cups and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing lemon sorbet!
