Ingredients
6 Lemons
250 millilitre Water
150 gram Caster sugar
1 Egg white
Directions
- Wash the whole lemons well and then peel. Place the peel in a saucepan with the 250ml of water and caster sugar. Heat gently and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Increase the heat to a simmer and leave to cook for 10 minutes, and then cool.
- Remove the flesh from the lemons making sure you remove any seeds and as much pith as possible. Puree the lemon flesh in a food processor until smooth and add to the cooled syrup mix. Place in the freezer until half frozen.
- Beat the egg white until stiff. Remove the lemon mixture from the freezer beat with electric beaters for 2 minutes. Fold in the egg white and freeze covered in plastic wrap.
- Serve in hollowed out lemons for something a bit different!
- Enjoy!
Notes
- For Orange Sorbet, just substitute oranges for lemons.
