Stir in the buttermilk, cream, corn syrup, salt, and candied lemon zest. Chill over the ice bath or overnight in the refrigerator.

REAL LEMON SHERBET

Steps:

• Beat egg whites in a bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add 1/4 cup sugar slowly, beating batter until peaks stiffen.
• Combine water, the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and salt in a bowl. Stir until sugar and salt are dissolved. Stir in cream and lemon juice until just combined. Fold in the beaten egg whites. Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.

FRESH LEMON SHERBET

Steps:

• Process zest, sugar, and salt in a food processor until damp, ten to fifteen 1-second pulses.
• With the machine running, add lemon juice and water in a slow steady stream; continue to process until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 1 minute.
• Strain the mixture through a non-reactive fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl to remove pulp and zest; stir in Triple Sec, then cover with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer until very cold, about 40º, 30-60 minutes (Alternatively, set the bowl over larger bowl containing ice water).
• Do not let mixture freeze.
• When mixture is cold, using a whisk, whip the cream in a chilled medium bowl until soft peaks form. Whisking constantly, add the chilled juice mixture in a steady stream, pouring against the edge of the bowl.
• Immediately start the ice cream machine and add the juice/cream mixture to the frozen insert.
• Churn until the sherbet has the texture of soft-serve ice cream, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the canister from the machine and transfer the sherbet to a storage container; press plastic wrap directly against the surface of the sherbet (to prevent ice crystals from forming) and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours. Can be wrapped well in plastic and frozen for up to one week.
• To serve, let sherbet stand at room temperature until slightly softened and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the sherbet registers 12º to 15º.
