The heat is getting to us so we can only think of cool things. Which made us think about a sorbet. They are not difficult to make if you have a freezer or an ice cream machine, but they must be made with strong flavours as the ice can make them bland. This is John's daughter Clare's favourite sorbet. Limes are coming into season, so you should be able to find them. Great if you are dairy challenged. Limes are sometimes difficult to juice, make sure you buy enough and that they are not stone hard
1 cup of water - 1 cup of sugar - 1
cup of lime juice - 1 teaspoon of finely grated zest of lime
Heat the sugar in the water till the sugar melts,
then add the lime juice. Simmer gently for three minutes. Cool completely and
then add the zest. Put into your ice cream machine and churn till set. Freeze,
covered, till ready to use
If you don't have a machine, pour the mixture into
a shallow metal baking tin and cover. Put in your freezer until completely
frozen, about 2 hours. Then break the frozen mixture into pieces and place in a
blender; blend until smooth. Place in a container and store, covered, in the
freezer until ready to serve
