Fresh mint sherbet

12 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
7 Lemons
1 large Double handful fresh mint
2½ cup Sugar
1 can (17-oz) crushed pineapple (up to)
3 drops Green food coloring
Enough milk to fill 1 gallon ice cream freezer

Directions

Squeeze lemons, reserving juice. Put lemon rinds in water to cover in a pan. Heat to boiling. DO NOT BOIL. Squeeze rinds out & remove. In this hot liquid, add mint. Mash well. (I use my hands to be sure to get all the flavor from the mint.) Strain. To this liquid add the sugar & lemon juice.

Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add pineapple. Put in 1 gallon ice cream freezer. Add food coloring & enough milk to fill freezer. Freeze according to freezer directions. (This is a delightful change for a summertime dessert.)
