Sour Lemon Sorbet

Submitted by Leslie in Texas

"This is a very refreshing sorbet, perfect as the light ending for a summertime meal along with crisp sugar cookies. For a cute presentation, serve this in the scooped out shells of lemon halves, trimmed at the bottom to sit upright, and topped with a few lemon rind curls. Prep time does not include freezing time."
