Sorbets are not suppose to have milk. I think this is a recipe for sherbet.

This is the first time I used my ice-cream maker so I'm not sure whether it's working correctly or not. This tasted just lovely but I'm not sure I got the consistency right, it was very hard to scoop once frozen and I had to scrape it out of the container so it was more like a slush, I think I need to experiment with my ice-cream maker more!!

Absolutely outstanding! It has that fresh tasting, sweet yet tart flavor that you only acquire with fresh lemon! This recipe, I will undoubtedly use again and again! I am using this sorbet as the sandwich filling to create my Recipe #227267 which should be fantastic topped with the wonderfully fresh taste of Recipe #60175! Thank you for this wonderful recipe, Calee!
