Lemon sorbet recipe

[shivvy]

Has anyone got a recipe for making lemon sorbet but without using an ice cream maker?
Thanks

Can be made with either ice-cream maker or electric whisk. <br /> <br /> Serves: 8 <br /> <br /> Ingredients <br /> <br /> 200g caster sugar <br /> 300ml water <br /> 300ml strained lemon juice (about 6 large lemons) <br /> 3 tbsp lemon vodka (I use limoncello that I keep in the freezer) <br /> <br /> Method <br /> <br /> 1. Put the caster sugar and the water in a small saucepan and over a medium-low heat. Heat the pan gently, stirring, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Bring to the boil and boil steadily for 5 minutes (without stirring), or until the solution has attained the consistency of a thin syrup. Leave to cool, then stir in the lemon juice, and the lemon vodka. <br /> <br /> 2. Pour the lemon mixture into an ice cream maker and process following the manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, if you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the lemon mixture into a shallow container and freeze for an hour. Remove from the freezer and beat with an electric mixer until smooth, then return to the freezer. Repeat this procedure twice to produce a smooth, fine-textured sorbet, then leave to freeze until very firm. Serve in scoops. <br />

Sorry about all those <br /> things. It's because I copied the recipe from a word document on my PC and then manually put in breaks to space it out. Hope it still makes sense.
