HOW TO MAKE TRADITIONAL ITALIAN LEMON SORBET

Steps:

• Let's start preparing the lemons. Wash them very carefully then dry them. With the help of a peeler, remove the lemon peel, being careful NOT to remove the white, bitter part.
• Cut the lemons in half and squeeze them to collect the juice. If you have a juice extractor you can use it to have a more concentrated, tasty and slag-free juice.
• Place water, sugar and lemon zest in a saucepan. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved completely. Turn off the fire and let it cool.
• If necessary filter the lemon juice with a colander then add the syrup without the lemon zest. Mix really well.
• Pour the mixture into a blender and blend everything for about 3 minutes. In this way the mixture will incorporate more air and the sorbet will be creamier.
• If you have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into the machine and start it. It will take about 40 minutes, depending on the model. After the necessary time, your creamy Italian Lemon Sorbet is ready!
• Pour the blended mixture into the previously frozen stainless steel container. Place in the freezer for about 4 hours. Every 30 minutes you have to break the frozen surface. So remove the sorbet from the freezer and mix using a hand whisk or a low speed electric whisk.

LEMON OLIVE-OIL ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Whisk egg yolks together in a medium nonreactive bowl; set aside. Combine cream, milk, sugar, 3 teaspoons lemon zest and the salt in a medium nonreactive saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and mixture begins to bubble around the edges. Ladle about 1 cup of the cream mixture into the egg yolks and whisk vigorously to temper the eggs.
• Pour the egg and cream mixture back into the pan and whisk well to combine. Cook the mixture on medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 7 minutes. Take care to not let the mixture boil. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl.
• Slowly stream in the lemon juice and olive oil while whisking constantly, then whisk in the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Chill the mixture in a bowl set over an ice bath until completely cool. Alternatively, cool the mixture completely in the refrigerator, covered, at least 4 hours, or overnight.
• Just before churning, whisk the mixture thoroughly. Churn in an ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container, press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface, cover, and freeze until firm. Serve scoops of ice cream with a drizzle of fruity olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and lemon zest, if desired.

OLIVE OIL AND LEMON SORBET

Steps:

• Boil sugar and water for 10 minutes to form a syrup.
• Let cool, then add lemon juice and grated lemon rind; stir in olive oil.
• Turn into (put into) ice cream maker.
• Just before the sorbet is completely thick, fold in beaten egg whites.

OLIVE OIL SORBETTO WITH BERRIES AND BALSAMIC

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, salt and basil with 1 cup water in a small saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to help dissolve the sugar. Simmer gently for 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the basil from the simple syrup and discard. Whisk the egg white in a medium bowl until frothy. Whisk the hot syrup into the beaten egg white. Whisk in the lemon juice and olive oil. Switch to a rubber spatula and stir occasionally for 5 minutes or until just warm to the touch. Refrigerate until completely chilled, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours.
• To freeze the sorbetto, use a handheld blender to emulsify the base mixture. When the base looks creamy and smooth, pour it directly into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's directions, about 15 minutes. When the mixture is the consistency of a thick milkshake (do not overprocess or it will separate), transfer to an airtight container and freeze until ready to serve, at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
• To serve, scoop the sorbetto into a small coupe or bowl, sprinkle with berries and drizzle with balsamic.

Slowly whisk in sugar and salt until dissolved, then whisk in oil. Taste; add 1 to 2 more tablespoons lemon juice, if desired. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
• Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer sorbet to chilled loaf pan, cover, and freeze at least 4 hours and up to 1 week. To serve, let sorbet stand at room temperature to soften, 5 to 10 minutes, before scooping.

LAVENDER LEMON SORBET

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat mix all ingredients together and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Refrigerate 4 hours or until well chilled.
• Strain mixture and pour into an ice cream maker. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions.
• Note: I read Rita's review of another Lavender Sorbet and learned that she used ice cubes to create the sorbet. You can try that here if you like, reducing the water by half and chilling the cooked mixture. Then add ice cubes and blend. Add more cubes if you think it needs it. If you try this method please let me know so I can give more accurate directions. Thanks!
