It Needs A Name!!!
I won't complain about the snow. I won't complain about the snow.
I won't complain about the snow......
Ok, I stopped. Actually, I have nothing to complain about. There was no school, I didn't have to drive anywhere, I didn't have to shovel, and there is egg nog from Christmas still in my refrigerator. Perfect for the day after a snowy night. So... being
So I put the lemons in my fruit bowl and waited for them to finish ripening. Fine by me, I had no idea of what to do with them.
Last year, I made a Meyer Lemon and Salted Caramel ice cream which was delicious. Making the same thing twice can be boring though, and I really needed to find a way to use these guys before they got too ripe and went the way of warmer days.
Some searching led me to a recipe for Lemon Sorbet from Cook's Illustrated-- my favorite source for recipes. But, me being me, I couldn't just leave the recipe the way it was, I had to make adjustments to allow for incorporating the three oranges on my counter that I neglected to use on New Year's Eve with our chocolate fondue.
Two Zests and a Spice |
So.. two zests and some cinnamon later, I made a lemon, little bit o' orange and cinnamon sorbet. It tastes delicious, was really easy and captures that citrusy cinnamon flavor of winter.
I don't know what to call it!!!
It needs a name as bright and spicy as its blend of flavors. Somehow, it needs to capture the Meyer Lemon specialness that makes it great for this time of year. Winter is citrus season, but two years ago I created a Winter Citrus Chicken recipe so Winter Citrus Sorbet is out.
HELP!!!!
