    Key Lime Sorbet

    Source of Recipe

    Alton Brown

    List of Ingredients

    1 cup sugar
    1 cup key lime preserves
    1 lemon, zested and juiced
    1 lime, zested and juiced
    4 cups lime flavored club soda or seltzer
    Kosher salt

    Recipe

    Combine sugar, preserves and 1 cup of the soda in a medium saucepan and stir over low heat until sugar and preserves are melted. Add citrus juice and zest. Stir in the remaining soda, move to a clean, lidded container and chill thoroughly, 2 to 3 hours.

    Turn mixture in ice cream maker per maker's instructions or until mixture reaches the consistency of a firm slush. Return mixture to lidded container and harden in freezer 1 hour before serving.

    If sorbet is to be held frozen for longer than 2 hours, move from freezer to refrigerator for about half an hour before serving. If you'd like a more assertive sorbet, double the amount of citrus zest.

    Note from BL: Alton made this recipe using Perrier, but you can use any lime or citrus flavoured sparkling water you like. You could also use tonic water if you wanted to have a way to get tonic water into your kids but need it disguised - lol.
