We had a welcome spring dinner this weekend. Our dessert was homemade Meyer lemon sherbet. We used the recipe found here with a few changes. It was so good. See below for our recipe edits.
Little J helped cut and juice the lemons. It took about 4 Meyer lemons to make one cup of juice. I've found that the cutting board and juicer don't slip if there is a nonstick mat under them and it makes it easier for the kids to work.
How we made our sherbet
Juice 4 Meyer lemons to make about 1 cup of juice. Zest one of the lemons. Add juice and zest to 2/3 cups of superfine sugar, 1 cup of whole milk, and 1 cup of half and half. The Joy of Baking has a great tip to place regular sugar in a food processor for 30 seconds if you don't have superfine sugar. Place mixture in ice cream maker and mix until frozen. We put it in the freezer for several hours before serving.

Oh yummy! Can't wait to try this!

My little chefs will love this! They were shocked to find out that lemons actually grow on tree when they recently made their first fresh squeezed lemonade! Have to try this soon!
Yum!!! I make a lemon poppyseed cake for Easter and this would be great with it.
Oh I love anything with lemons in it. I love how you are involving your kids in the preparation and setting it up so it is safe. Well done, Mummy! Thanks for linking up to the Kids Co-op!
This looks delicious! Where did you get your juicer? I have been looking for a child-friendly one. Thanks!
Hi Nicole,
The juicer came with a bag of lemons I bought a couple of years ago. It's actually my all time favorite juicer. Sorry I can't be more help!
Sounds so yummy and refreshing! I love anything lemon!
