MEYER LEMON SORBET

If you're lucky enough to have your own small trees of Meyer lemons or a specialty market that stocks them in season, I highly recommend making a delicious, cooling summer sorbet from them! The Meyer is highly prized among chefs. It's slightly sweeter than a regular lemon.....a cross between a lemon and a tangerine. It's an incredible lemon.

MEYER LEMON SORBET



Meyer Lemon Sorbet image

There were quite a few things I missed about the Bay Area when I packed up my bags and moved to France. Burritos, bean-to-bar chocolates, and "centered" people were some of them. Okay, I didn't miss the centered people. But I was surprised at how much I missed Meyer lemons, which are sweeter and more perfumed than regular Eureka lemons. Their vibrant, deep yellow color makes other lemons pale in comparison. If you're lucky enough to know someone with a Meyer lemon tree, you're likely to be handed a large sack of them when the fruits are in season. Some greengrocers and specialty markets now carry them, too. Otherwise, you can use regular Eureka lemons in this recipe, but increase the sugar to 1 cup (200 g).

Yield makes about 1 quart (1 liter)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups (625 ml) water
3/4 cup (150 g) sugar
Grated zest of 1 Meyer lemon, preferably organic
1 cup (250 ml) freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice
1/4 cup (60 ml) Champagne or other sparkling wine, or 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vodka

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring the water, sugar, and lemon zest to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour into a medium bowl and let cool to room temperature.
  • Stir in the lemon juice and Champagne, other sparkling wine, or vodka. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
  • Freeze in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • This sorbet will freeze quite hard because it contains an especially large amount of water, so it's best eaten shortly after it's frozen. Or, remove it from the freezer ahead of serving so that it's soft enough to scoop. You can omit the alcohol, but the sorbet will freeze up even harder.

Tips:

  • Select the ripest Meyer lemons: Look for lemons with a deep yellow color and a smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid lemons that are green or have bruises or blemishes.
  • Use a microplane zester to remove the lemon zest: This will help release the flavorful oils from the lemon zest and create a more vibrant sorbet.
  • Chill the sorbet base thoroughly before freezing: This will help the sorbet freeze more evenly and prevent the formation of ice crystals.
  • Churn the sorbet in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions: This will help incorporate air into the sorbet and create a light and fluffy texture.
  • Freeze the sorbet for at least 4 hours before serving: This will allow the sorbet to firm up and develop its full flavor.
  • Serve the sorbet immediately after scooping: This will help prevent the sorbet from melting and becoming too soft.

Conclusion:

Meyer lemon limoncello sorbet is a refreshing and flavorful dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its bright citrus flavor and creamy texture, this sorbet is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have a craving for something sweet and tangy, give this Meyer lemon limoncello sorbet a try. You won't be disappointed!
