Food Tip |
This is a recipe for Lemon Sorbet from the recipe cookbook of Recipes-to-go (Fruit)
"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’." |
| John Thorne, American food writer |
Tarragon: Only the leaves are used of the tarragon plant which are available either fresh or dried. A favorite in French foods, tarragon’s aromatic, licorice-like flavor makes a great addition to chicken, fish, eggs, butter, vinegars, and soups. |
Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow you may work. |

Make a syrup by combining the finely diced lemon peel with the water
& the sugar in a non-corrosive pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat &
simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat & let cool. Combine the
syrup with the lemon juice & the mineral water.
At this point, use one of two steps. Either use an ice cream maker &
follow the maunfacturers instructions. Or, place in a tall canister &
put in the freezer. Freeze for 1 1/2 hours. Remove, stir & beat
briefly with a whisk. Return to the freezer & repeat the beating
process after another 50 minutes. You may have to repeat this three
or four times. The more you beat your sorbet, the more air is being
incorporated & hence the lighter the finished product. Keep in the
freezer above your fridge rather than a deep freeze otherwise you'll
get a finished product that is hard. If you only have a deep freeze,
place sorbet in fridge for 1 to 2 hours before serving.
Will keep for 3 or 4 days.
NOTE: The author from whom I adapted this recipe suggested that you
do not use a deep freeze or any free standing when making sorbets
because the temperatures are too cold. However, I have had no
success making a sorbet from scratch in a fridge-freezer. I use my
chest freezer & mix more often than is called for. When the sorbet
is ready, then I transfer it to the fridge freezer for keeping it.
