Lemon Sorbet Recipe

New!

• 200g Caster Sugar
• 300ml Water
• Finely Grated Rind of 2 lemons
• 300ml Lemon Juice (About 6 Lemons)
• 50ml Limoncello Liquer (For Adult Diners Only, otherwise omit)
  

1. Put the Caster Sugar and Water, and Lemon rind into a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until all of the sugar has dissolved.
2. Bring to the boil and boil steadily for 5 minutes without stirring.
3. Leave to cool and stir in the lemon juice and limoncello.
4. Chill in the fridge.
5. This recipe is so much easier if you have an ice cream maker, just pour the mixture in and churn until it has reached the correct consistency. 
   
6. If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the lemon mixture into a shallow plastic container and put it in the freezer. Every hour give the mixture a good stir. Keep doing this and eventually your sorbet will form. If it freezes too hard tip it into a mixing bowl and beat it with an electric mixer, or whizz it in a food processor.
7. Then spoon it into a suitable lidded container and freeze.
8. Bring out of the freezer 15 mins before serving and it will be easier to scoop.
