Fresh Lemon Sorbet

Lemon and orange sorbet served with fresh leaves on a black plate.

Fresh Lemon Sorbet is really easy to make and is thirst quenching and delicious on a hot summer’s day! �This is also a great way to use up lemons if you have a lemon tree at home – freeze the sorbet so you can enjoy it all year round.

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.
