Lime oil has a bit of natural sweetness in it; that’s why a teaspoon of fresh lime zest is used in this sorbet recipe. Try this for a light dessert or palate cleanser between courses.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
Preparation
In medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the water, sugar, and lime juice to a simmer. Cover the pan, lower the heat slightly, and cook for about 3 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and cool the mixture to room temperature. Stir in the lime zest. Chill the mixture for 2 hours. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Makes 6 servings.
