June 6, 2013 at 4:27 amI was asking my husband last night what frozen treat we should make next, and guess what he said! Exactly lemon sorbet. I think I’m meant to make this!
p.s. By the way, your pinterest button is not working on the side bar. 🙂 Pinned!

June 4, 2013 at 10:56 pmWhen I was a child we lived on the east coast near the ocean. On many summer weekends my parents would take up to a beach after dinner. They would buy us lemon sorbet (not ices) from an icecream stand and we would eat it while watching the sunset. I love your lemon sorbet. It looks so refreshing and the zest makes all the difference! I will be eating it and remembering beautiful sunsets. Thanks, Jocelyn. 🙂
