Lemon Ice

sounds delicious.....my fave fruits.

Love anything lemon!  Thanks for a recipe that doesn't require an ice cream machine!

Thanks!  It is delicious!

I love granitas!  I made a raspberry granita in the springtime that I think would be a good complement to your lemon!  What a contrast in the bowl too: yellow and reddish/pink.  Oooh, yes, I'll do it.

Scrape with a fork tines down or are you lifting it from the bottom of the pan with the edge? Does it harden too much overnight or will it stay smooth? Can you triple the recipe or should I make three batches and do you think that would be enough for about 50 shot sized servings?

It sounds like a great easy recipe. I am cooking for a baby shower this coming Sat. and it would be a nice palate cleanser.

I browsed a bit through your site and didn't see one but would you by chance have a Lassi recipe you could recommend?

BTW your photographer is fabulous too.

Thanks BL

Hi!

Fork tines down!

It will harden and turn into a block of ice over night.  But if you make your "shot sized servings" the night before, it will be OK!

You should be able to able to triple the recipe!  No need to go through the procedure three times.

Thanks!  Lori can really capture the beauty within!

And this is a great recipe: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Mango-Lassi-107038

Thank you so much. So glad I thought to ask about the overnight.

I will try the Lassi recipe tomorrow and let them do a taste test. I have made a few so far but we didn't care for them too much. I've never had one made with buttermilk (I don't think I have anyway). We are trying to find one that's close in taste and texture to one that was made by this Indian restaurant that has been gone for about a year now. We can get the texture but not the taste. Personally I wish they were still around so I could just buy it because I do not look forward to preparing 30 lbs of mangos. As it is I'll be shelling about 10 lbs of pistachios and they won't even be here till Weds afternoon. I just hope there are a couple left when I am done.

Thanks again.

I am glad you enjoyed the sorbet!  And I am glad you have come up with a lassi!  My husband just ate some tacos at a taco truck we used to regularly order food from YEARS ago 3000 miles away...and he started to say to me, "I just have offered to pay for their recipe!"  That is a great idea...but too late for you, and we are so far away to execute our idea on the tacos!

What a great recipe! I would love to try and make this.

Just saw your recipe -- and will be making it soon (now that summer might actually have arrived here in the Hudson Valley). I'm reminded of a great summer dessert trick I learned from Francine Segan: fill, halfway, a champagne flute with lemon ice (or sorbet), top off with prosecco, garnish with mint and/or lemon slice -- it's a grown-up slushie!

Thanks!  I hope you enjoy it!

Lovely! This sounds wonderfully refreshing, Jennifer.

Many thanks for posting to Blue Ribbon Recipes!

Excellent recipe Jennifer,

Everyone loved the sorbet. I had to alter the lassi recipe but the buttermilk was the trick. I had tried all yogurt and a yogurt with milk and the one you recommended but it ended up being yogurt and buttermilk.

The party was reduced to 30 people and the person who was supposed to provide the fruit salads and etc was a no show so I had to do a fruit salad in addition. I carved a quick baby carriage out of a watermelon in the morning. No one wanted to touch it though. I hate when that happens. I also made some watermelon ice and a fruit smoothie with some of he leftover fruit. For the watermelon Ice I just substituted the blended watermelon with a 1/4 tsp of ground ginger and some coarsely shaved cassia cinnamon. I did it by sight it was at least 1/8 tsp but probably closer to 1/4. I scrape about 1 tsp into the fruit salad as well.

Thanks again for a great recipe.

Thanks for posting this to Gather Recipe Review! Sounds nice and cool and fresh
