Fresh Lemon Sorbet

Serves 6-8
675g granulated sugar
660ml water
500ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
1½ tbsp lemon zest
Ensure the freezer bowl is completely frozen. (see page 9)

Place the sugar and water in a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce
n
the heat and simmer for 3-5 mins without stirring until the sugar dissolves. Cool
completely.
When cool add the lemon juice and zest and stir well. Cover and chill for 2-3 hours.

Turn the appliance on, pour the chilled mixture into the freezer bowl and leave the ice
n
cream to churn for 20-25 minutes.
This will produce a soft sorbet. For a firm frozen sorbet, transfer to an air tight
n
container and place in the freezer for 2 hours.
