Lime Sorbet

Total Time: 24 hrs Preparation Time: 24 hrs

Ingredients

• 5 limes
• 500 ml water
• 250 g granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice, strained
• 1 egg

Recipe

• 1 bring 250 ml of the water to a boil in a saucepan, add the sugar and stir for two minutes or so until the sugar has completely dissolved.
• 2 since the zest of only 1 lime is needed, it is only necessary to wash one. use a zester and remove the coloured peel only from this one. cover and keep to add to the sorbet when frozen.
• 3 squeeze the limes, strain, and mix the juice with the sugar syrup, strained lemon juice and remaining water. chill in the refrigerator, preferably overnight.
• 4 when ready, start the ice cream machine and pour in the lime mixture. churn for about 10 minutes or until the mixture starts to become opaque and icy. using a fork, beat the egg until loosened and add to the sorbet with the machine still running. continue until the sorbet is firm enough to serve; fork in the reserved lime zest.
• 5 to store, quickly scrape into chilled plastic freezer boxes and cover with waxed or greaseproof paper and a lid. finally label, then freeze. once the sorbet becomes solid it will need about 20 minutes in the fridge to soften sufficiently to serve.
