LEMON-BUTTERMILK SORBET
A bite of this refreshing sorbet is like stepping into a cold shower on a hot summer day. Thanks to the juice and zest of an entire lemon, this four-ingredient frozen treat has plenty of zing, but the creaminess of the buttermilk and the earthiness of the vanilla mellow it all out so you're not left with an unpleasant pucker. A quick note: The zest and the vanilla seeds can clump a bit during the churning process. Just stir it into the sorbet before serving (for soft serve) or freezing (for a firmer sorbet).

Steps:
- In a large, resealable plastic bag or plastic container with a lid, mix apples with the juice of 1/2 lemon. Freeze for several hours or overnight.
- In a small saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in honey. Cool completely.
- Place apple in a blender, and liquidize them with juice of 1 lemon and the cooled sugar syrup until as smooth as possible. The peel will add texture, and prevent the mixture from being completely smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to an ice cream machine and freeze according to directions. Leave the sorbet out to soften 10 minutes prior to serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right grapefruit. Select grapefruits that are heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid fruits that are soft or have brown spots.
- Use fresh buttermilk. Buttermilk that has been sitting in the fridge for a while may not have enough acidity to properly set the sorbet. For best results, use fresh buttermilk that is within a week of its sell-by date.
- Chill the grapefruit cups before using. This will help the sorbet to set more quickly and prevent it from melting too quickly.
- Freeze the sorbet for at least 4 hours before serving. This will give it time to set properly and develop its full flavor.
- To make a smoother sorbet, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before freezing. This will remove any ice crystals and give the sorbet a velvety texture.
- Garnish the sorbet with fresh mint or a squeeze of lime juice before serving. This will add a refreshing touch of flavor and make the sorbet look more appealing.
Conclusion:
Buttermilk and honey sorbet in grapefruit cups is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your sorbet tart or sweet, tangy or mild, there is a combination of buttermilk and honey that will suit your taste. So next time you are looking for a light and refreshing dessert, give this sorbet a try. You won't be disappointed!
