By á-6636

Ingredients

• 5 c. water
• 1 c. sugar
• 3 (1/8-inch thick) slices peeled fresh ginger
• 2 tsp. grated Key lime rind or lime rind
• 1/2 c. fresh Key lime juice or lime juice (about 10 Key limes)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine first three ingredients in a large nonaluminum saucepan, bring to a boil. Add lime rind, and cook over low heat 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain mixture through a sieve into a bowl, reserving the sugar mixture. Discard solids. Cool sugar mixture completely. Stir in lime juice. Pour the juice mixture into the freezer can of an ice cream freezer, and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Spoon sorbet into freezer safe container, cover and freeze for 2 hours or until firm. You can use this as a limeade – just don’t freeze it into a sorbet.
