From LA Times

Ingredients

• 1 cup lemon juice, from about 6 lemons
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup (3 1/2 ounces) diced apple (about 1 apple), cut into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 1/2 pounds ice
• 1 pound rock salt

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a blender, combine the lemon juice, sugar, water and diced apple. Blend the ingredients until smooth.

2. Place the lemon mixture in a small metal bowl over a larger bowl containing the ice and salt and whip with a hand whisk for about 10 minutes to lighten the texture, or to desired consistency.

3. Freeze the gelato base for about 11/2 hours before serving.
