Lime Sherbet
The grated peel from two limes
is extremely bitter. Don’t. Just the green (or yellow or orange, depending on the citrus).
1 c. sugar
3 c. half-and-half
1/2 c. fresh lime juice (usually four limes)
1/2 c. water
I usually buy one more lime than I need, just in case, or buy one of those small bottles of lime juice, just in case. Mix all ingredients and taste, adding more lime juice if you need to (remember, you need to overflavor because this is a frozen product). Freeze. Oh. You know this isn’t going to be green, right? If you have to have green, you’ll have to add food coloring. Limes are only green on the outside.

[…] That lime sherbert is really good. Clean, tart, refreshing. Don’t forget to taste and oversweeten before you freeze it (or it will be too tart). […]
