SORBETS & SHERBETS

FRESH LEMON SORBET

Makes ten 12-cup servings

2cups sugar

2cups water

112 cups freshly squeezed lemon juice

1tablespoon 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 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 the Cuisinart ClassicTM Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream and Sorbet Maker on; pour the mixture into freezer bowl and let mix until thicken, about 20-25 minutes. The sorbet will have a soft texture. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and place in freezer for about two hours. Remove from freezer about

10 minutes before serving.
