I woke up this morning ready to face the world! After an appointment, some swapmeeting in the hot sun, and enchiladas with the in-laws, I was ready for a nap or some knitting. I'm in the middle of a sweater vest for my husband, so I had to spend some time on that, as well as another crochet project that I'm working on. More to come on those later.
The best thing that I made today was some lemon lime sorbet. We are obsessed with sorbet right now, and since citrus is in season, we've been eating some cold tangy treats! Last week I had a variety of citrus that needed to be eaten. I had heard about a basil-lemon sorbet, and that's what I started making. But then I realized that I didn't have that many lemons, but I did have enough citrus to get enough liquid for the sorbet. It ended up being a blend of pomelo, lemon, lime, tangerine & blood orange mixed in with some peach vodka and limeade soda. The "base" was made from basil infused simple syrup. It was really yummy. Today, I decided to keep it simpler, so I only used lemons and limes (juice and zest), simple syrup, and a splash of triple sec to keep it from freezing too hard. Quite refreshing on an 80 degree January day.
