Lemon Sorbet
by ochorios
This makes a nice dessert or can be even taken on a hot summer day.
<>children as well as adults will love this cool sorbet, as most people love lemon juice.
<>I have tried and made this particular recipe many times and my family loves it and so will you.
to speed the freezing, pour the sorbet mixture into several glass bowls.
if stirred about every hour, sorbet made in this way is ready to eat in only 4 hours.
happy cooking and enjoy.

I like your recipe, but lemons vary greatly in size and juice content. Perhaps next time list how many cups of juice?
