We have a lemon tree in our backyard that gives us an abundance of lemons.  Most of the time we end up making lemonade or cutting the lemons up for drinks and meals.  Since this pandemic has caused us to spend all of our days at home, we have tried to be a little more creative with what we can make with our lemons.  Right now lemon sorbet is the dessert-du-jour in our household.  Below is our favorite recipe.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
