Zest (lime)
Tom bought limes to make himself Margaritas. I used the lime to make zest for my final letter for the 26 Things.
As for me. I swore off Margaritas. Can anyone guess why?
Today I made homemade cantaloupe sorbet/ice. But, just the same it is so refreshing. I know what we call cantaloupes are really muskmellons. Then why do we call them cantaloupes? I don’t think that I have ever had a genuine cantaloupe.
Cantaloupe Sorbet
1 cantaloupe peeled, seeded and then cut into cubes
1/2-2/3 cup of sugar depending on the sweetness of the fruit
2 Tablespoons of light corn syrup
1 cup of water
Place cubed cantaloupe and sugar into a medium bowl and mix well. Place this is the refrigerator for a couple of hours. After chilling, place the sweetened melon cubes into a blender and add the corn syrup and water. Blend well.
Transfer this mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufactor’s instructions.
Place the frozen sorbet into a covered shallow, plastic container and freeze for a few hours before serving.
Hi, Liz! I’m back. I did not know that about canteloupes. I will have to read up on them. Your sorbet looks delicious whatever it is. I love the zest photo. What will you think of next? *hugs*
Oh, Margaritas sound so good! I couldn’t have resisted. Does Tom use a mix or make his own? The Sorbet looks wonderful. I love sorbet and make it often in the summer. Have a lovely day. HUGS
Happy Monday Liz,
Ahhh.. you have finally reached the letter “Z” I love zest and use lemon zest often in my baking. Would you believe I never had a Margarita as I’m a “coffee” totaler. LOL! I do drink a glass of wine every once in awhile.
The sorbet looks delicious and I bet it tasted delicious also.
Have a wonderful beginning of the week my friend. ~Hugs~
Hi, Liz. I see you’re taking an end-of-alphabet vacation from blogging. I hope you and yours are well. HUGS!
