Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 3/4 cups sugar
3 lemons, Rind of lemons removed with a vegetable peeler
2 cups water
1 cup fresh lemon juice, strained (or to taste)
1 large egg white

Steps:

  • In a saucepan combine the sugar, the rind, and 2 cups water, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and simmer the syrup for 5 minutes.
  • Let the syrup cool, strain it into a bowl, and stir in the lemon juice. Chill the syrup, covered, for 2 hours, or until it is cold.
  • (The syrup may be made up to one day in advance and kept covered and chilled.) Freeze the syrup in an ice cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions until it is almost frozen but still mushy.
  • In a bowl beat the egg white until it holds soft peaks, add it to the sherbet, and freeze the sherbet again in the ice-cream freezer until it is frozen but not firm.
  • Remove the dasher and freeze the sherbet, covered, until it is firm.
  • (The sherbet may be made up to 3 days in advance and kept covered tightly and frozen.) Yield: 1 quart

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Make sure the sugar is completely dissolved before freezing the sherbert. If the sugar is not dissolved, it will crystallize and the sherbert will be grainy.
  • Freeze the sherbert for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the sherbert to firm up.
  • Serve the sherbert immediately after removing it from the freezer. If you let it sit out for too long, it will start to melt and become slushy.
  • Garnish the sherbert with a lemon twist or a sprig of mint for a refreshing presentation.

Conclusion:

Lemon sherbert is a classic summertime dessert that is easy to make and always a hit with guests. With its bright, tangy flavor and creamy texture, it's the perfect way to cool down on a hot day.
