Sharing Sorbet

My sigh? Having a fully stocked kitchen again plus living with the most generous family (love!)
So in hopes of taking advantage of the ice-cream maker this holiday weekend I am posting a recipe for Lemon Thyme Sorbet.

Whatcha need?
  • 6 medium lemons
  • 2 cups of water
  • 1.5 granulated sugar (note: substitutions will not work as well)
  • .75 cup fresh lemon thyme sprigs
Use vegetable peeler to peel off strips of the lemon peel (yellow portion only). In small saucepan, bring water to a boil, remove from heat and whisk in sugar until all of it is dissolved. Add lemon thyme and strips of lemon peel. Cover and steep for one hour.
Strain through fine-mesh strainer to remove lemon thyme and lemon peel. Cut lemons in half and use citrus juicer to extract juice (about 1 cup). Whisk in lemon juice. Chill in fridge for three hours or until cold then freeze in ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's directions.

I'll letcha know how it goes, I think it would be fun to try with lime and
lemon. Yum!

Just to be cute...
X, Becca
