FRESH LEMON SHERBET



Fresh Lemon Sherbet image

Unlike ice cream, store-bought sherbet is usually third-rate. If you want a really good fruit sherbet, do you have to make it yourself? YES. In our house lemon is our favorite, but you can use this basic recipe and substitute fresh squeezed lime or orange juice, or use fresh raspberries (YUM). Since getting an ice cream maker with the freezer insert, we make sherbet weekly. We like the sherbet better than regular ice cream and it's a 'little' healthier! If using a canister-style (freezer insert) ice cream machine, freeze the cannister for at least 12 hours, or preferably, overnight. If the canister insert is not thoroughly frozen, the sherbet will not freeze beyond a slushy consistency. Be sure to use freshly squeezed (not bottled) lemon juice. You can substitute vodka for the Triple Sec if desired, but the Triple Sec adds a more citrusy flavor. Prep time includes juice chilling time. Adapted from Cook's Illustrated (America's Test Kitchen).

Time 3h50m

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon lemon zest, grated, from 1 to 2 lemons
1 cup granulated sugar (7 ounces)
1/8 teaspoon table salt
2/3 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons triple sec
2/3 cup heavy cream

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.

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 bright.
  • Make sure the sugar is completely dissolved before freezing the sherbet. If the sugar is not dissolved, it will crystallize and the sherbet will be grainy.
  • Freeze the sherbet for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the sherbet to set and develop its full flavor.
  • If you want a smoother sherbet, you can strain it before freezing. This will remove any ice crystals that may have formed.
  • Serve the sherbet immediately after it has been frozen. If you let it sit out for too long, it will start to melt and lose its flavor.

Conclusion:

Lemon sherbet is a refreshing and delicious frozen treat that is perfect for a hot summer day. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and refreshing sherbet that the whole family will enjoy.
