LEMON SHERBET

Steps:

• In a saucepan combine the sugar, the rind, and 2 cups water, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and simmer the syrup for 5 minutes.
• Let the syrup cool, strain it into a bowl, and stir in the lemon juice. Chill the syrup, covered, for 2 hours, or until it is cold.
• (The syrup may be made up to one day in advance and kept covered and chilled.) Freeze the syrup in an ice cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions until it is almost frozen but still mushy.
• In a bowl beat the egg white until it holds soft peaks, add it to the sherbet, and freeze the sherbet again in the ice-cream freezer until it is frozen but not firm.
• Remove the dasher and freeze the sherbet, covered, until it is firm.
• (The sherbet may be made up to 3 days in advance and kept covered tightly and frozen.) Yield: 1 quart

LEMON SHERBET PUNCH

Steps:

• Mix Lemonade in very large punch bowl.
• Add soda and frozen fruit.
• Open sherbet and dump the entire package of it into punch (it will float on the top).
• Due to the frozen fruit and Sherbet, there is really no need for ice until later, or unless it it very hot.

LEMON SHERBET

Steps:

• Combine in a medium-size saucepan: 1 cup fresh lemon juice, 2 cups water, 1 1/4 cups sugar.
• Heat just until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and add: 3/4 cup milk.
• Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and place in the refrigerator until completely cool. Freeze in an ice-cream maker following the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the frozen sherbet into a clean dry container, cover, and store in the freezer for several hours to firm up before serving.
• Add 2 strips of lemon zest when dissolving the sugar. Remove before freezing.
• Use Meyer lemons and reduce the sugar to 1 cup.

FRESH LEMON SHERBET

Steps:

• Process zest, sugar, and salt in a food processor until damp, ten to fifteen 1-second pulses.
• With the machine running, add lemon juice and water in a slow steady stream; continue to process until the sugar is fully dissolved, about 1 minute.
• Strain the mixture through a non-reactive fine-mesh strainer into a medium bowl to remove pulp and zest; stir in Triple Sec, then cover with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer until very cold, about 40º, 30-60 minutes (Alternatively, set the bowl over larger bowl containing ice water).
• Do not let mixture freeze.
• When mixture is cold, using a whisk, whip the cream in a chilled medium bowl until soft peaks form. Whisking constantly, add the chilled juice mixture in a steady stream, pouring against the edge of the bowl.
• Immediately start the ice cream machine and add the juice/cream mixture to the frozen insert.
• Churn until the sherbet has the texture of soft-serve ice cream, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the canister from the machine and transfer the sherbet to a storage container; press plastic wrap directly against the surface of the sherbet (to prevent ice crystals from forming) and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours. Can be wrapped well in plastic and frozen for up to one week.
• To serve, let sherbet stand at room temperature until slightly softened and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the sherbet registers 12º to 15º.
