    Meyer Lemon Sorbet

    Meyer Lemon Sorbet

    This post may contain affiliate links.

    I recently served this Meyer Lemon Sorbet as a palate cleanser at my Thanksgiving 2010 dinner.  The flavors of this sorbet are well balanced and bold.  Meyer lemon juice gives the sorbet a sweet citrus flavor and lemon zest provides a tart punch that is sure to arouse your senses.  One quick side note (for those of you who don’t know me well) – I am just a little obsessed with meyer lemons, so please expect more meyer lemon recipes over the next few months.  Last year I made meyer lemon curd, meyer lemon shortbread cookies, meyer lemon jello (shots?), meyer lemon drops and more!  Check out the sorbet recipe after the jump.

    Servings 20 ounces

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1 cup water
    • 1 cup freshly squeezed meyer lemon juice (about 6 lemons)
    • 2 teaspoons lemon zest

    Instructions
     

    • Prepare an ice bath (ice and water) in a large bowl and set a medium size bowl in the bath.
    • Add sugar and water to a small saucepan and warm over medium high heat, stirring until sugar has completely dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil and let bubble for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and pour into the medium bowl sitting in the ice bath. Stir occasionally to expedite the cooling process.
    • Once cooled, add meyer lemon juice and lemon zest. Once the mixture has completely chilled, cover and transfer for the refrigerator. Let the mixture sit for a few hours or up to a day in the refrigerator. The longer the mixture sits, the more tart it will be (from the lemon zest).
    • Once the desired tartness has been achieved, strain the mixture through a fine mesh basket strainer into a clean bowl or measuring cup. Discard lemon zest.
    • Place the mixture in an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

      Nice and light. A good break from all the gingerbread and mincemeat floating around.

      I’m kind of obsessed with Meyer lemons too! They’re shiny … and they make a GREAT vinaigrette. You wouldn’t think that they would change the flavor that much … but they TOTALLY do!

      @Belinda I do understand it is colder in other parts of the country (and the world); however, it was 80 degrees in San Diego when I made this sorbet 🙂

      @TiffKey I was just considering making a vinaigrette with meyer lemon juice. Any recipe suggestions?

      Yay! Meyer lemons are back in season. I am so excited. I just went online, Googled ‘purchase Meyer lemons’ and there they were, ready to deliver. Can’t wait to receive them so I can use them in your Meyer Lemon Sorbet recipe. Thank you.

      Your photography is magnificent. I almost wanted to lick the screen.
      Great to see so many Meyer lemon fans.
      Meyer Lemons are like love. Sometimes hard to find, but well worth the wait.

      @Frances You don’t even know how excited I was when I saw that first pile of meyer lemons at Costco. It’s my favorite time of the year!
