Lemon Sorbet

Submitted by katej76

"This will kick you taste buds in the butt! Very tangy and yum. I use a melon baller to scoop it out of the container and put it in very small bowls as you don't need much. If you have a thing for sour then you'll love this. You can try other citrus fruits instead of lemons."

Excellent. Easy to make and very lemony. I used some of the lemon rind as garnish on the sorbet.
