Noteworthy cousin of ice-cream

Lemon Sorbet

Our lemon sorbet with crushed almonds

***

Intensely sour but refreshing and really good.
J and I made a tub of it last Sunday.
I'm growing to love sorbets- especially the freshly-made ones.
They just bring an entire new meaning to sorbets. I used to think that sorbets are for those who are watching their waist; the "not-quite-there" substitute for their richer, full-bodied cousin.

I was first proven wrong by the yuzu sorbet from Japan. It's incredibly refreshing and I love the unique and citrusy flavours of the yuzu. Recently, I tried the chocolate sorbet from Macaron and that hit a spot as well. Needless to say, I was scrambling for recipes to experiment with some sorbets of my own. This is the first of all- Lemon sorbet.

This week is ice-cream week so will keep a lookout for ice-cream recipes to try this Sunday.


Let me indulge myself with another photo of the sorbet
