For those of you that live in New York knows what kind of days we have been having.
Its been hot, steamy and muggy.
On those days I look for my best "hot and steamy" comfort food.... lemon sorbet!
Nothing cools me down like that.
Its just the right mix of sour and sweet, just like me...lol
Lemon sorbet
Serves 12
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup corn syrup
2 1/2 cups water
1 cup lemon juice, about 8 lemons
Place sugar, corn syrup and water in a saucepan.
Cook the mixture until the sugar is disolved.
Remove from heat and add the lemon juice.
Cool.
Pour the mixture into an ice cream make and freeze.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, you can pour it into a bowl and place in the freezer.
Take it our every hour and stir and scrape it with a fork.
Do that until you have a nice texture.
Its now called a granita and not a sorbet.
Enjoy.

I love sorbet and sherbets. I loved having those even more than rich chocolate desserts when I was young.

Cute styling. Will have to leave this until it warms up here in London - it's bloody freezing!
