Flavor #6 - Lemon Sorbet

Today is the first day of 2014 here in New England where the temps are going above 80°F. Nothing better than some refreshing  Lemon Sorbet.  This recipe is a little closer to the Lemon Italian Ice my brother and I used to get from Vecchitto's truck when we were kids in Old Saybrook, Ct.

Juice Six Lemons - About One Cup

Adjusted Simple Syrup - 2 Cups Water & 1 3/4 Cups Sugar

I don't like when sorbets come out syrupy and love when the lemons are a little sour. Making the simple syrup a little light on the sugar will give me the flavor I want as well as provide a little lighter consistency similar to Italian Ice. This is the other flavor requested for the party tonight and although it does have Italian Ice qualities, the party will not be on Revere Beach.

Enjoy!
