Tomato sorbet

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Ripe tomatoes (approximately)
1 cup Sugar
3 tablespoons Lemon juice

Freeze the tomatoes for several hours. Defrost, peel, seed, and puree the flesh in a blender. Measure 2 cups of tomato puree and find another use for the rest.

Boil the water and sugar in a small pan, and simmer 5 minutes. Cool, add the tomato puree and lemon juice, mix well and refrigerate until well chilled. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.) Transfer mixture to ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's directions. Let the sorbet soften slightly before serving.
