This sorbetto is amazingly refreshing and is great for an intermezzo between courses or on its own as a light dessert served with a simple sugar cookie.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups Sugar

1 ½ cups Water

2 cups Lemon Juice

2-3 cups Fresh Basil Leaves

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine the sugar and water in a pot and bring to a boil making sure the sugar is dissolved. This is called asimple syrup. Take off heat and let cool.

2. Combine the fresh lemon juice and basil leaves in a blender. Blend both items until the basil leaves are in small pieces.

3. Strain the lemon-basil mixture through a fine sieve – discarded the strained basil leaves and reserve the lemon juice in a large bowl.

4. Add the simple syrup (sugar/water) with the strained lemon juice and mix well.

5. Put the liquid in your ice cream machine and process. Transfer to a container when done and put in the freezer to firm up.

I was at an Opera Night at Sotto Sopra Restaurant and the lemon basil sorbetto was the intermezzo. It truly cleaned and refreshed the palate but I wanted more, more, more. (OMG I'm sounding like the Comcast Cable commercial.) Luckily I was working with their executive chef Bill Crouse, co-hosting a cooking class last month and one of the dishes he presented was the divine sorbetto.

Vous avez vraiment un talent pour l'écriture. C'est probablement l'un des meilleurs, mais bien écrit, des articles que j'ai lu sur Internet.
