meyer lemon sorbet

this simple recipe only requires the best lemons around which are often difficult to find. most often they are only in the stores from November through May.  i happened to see these at my local Kroger a couple of weeks ago and couldn't believe it.  these lemons are remarkably beautiful and juicy.  they would also be wonderful for any lemon tart.

to make the sorbet, i used this whole bag of lemons, which was six, sliced them and hand juiced them with a glass lemon juicer.  i strained them for seeds.  meanwhile, i heated 2 cups of water in a small saucepan and added 1 1/2 cups of sugar to melt.  i then added lemon zest from the rinds of the lemons and cooled the mixture in the refrigerator until chilled.

then, i added the chilled Meyer lemon juice to the mixture and placed in my Cuisinart ice cream maker and processed for 25 minutes.  this makes an amazing sorbet that would be wonderful for a hot summer evening.
