Fresh Lemon Sorbet

Bits of fresh citrus zest add a burst of flavour to this refreshing sorbet.

Preparation: 10 minutes + cooling time; 20 to 25 minutes chilling time, plus additional time, for firmer consistency.

Makes eight servings

1¾ cups sugar

1¾ cups water

1¼ cups freshly squeezed lemon juice

2 teaspoons 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 to 5 minutes. Cool completely. This is called a 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 machine ON. Pour the lemon mixture into the freezer bowl, and mix until the mixture thickens, about 20 to 25 minutes. The sorbet will have a “soft serve” texture. If desired, transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and

place in freezer until it has reached desired firmness.

*When zesting a lemon or lime, use a vegetable peeler to remove the coloured part of the citrus rind; avoid the bitter white pith.
