A sorbet should capture the bright, sun-kissed essence of a fruit, but few of us have access to perfectly ripe lemons — tempering them with some orange juice will help soften the acidity. This recipe has a retro touch in the shape of a hollowed-out lemon shell used as the vessel to serve the sorbet in. These will keep in the freezer for up to a month with the sorbet still tasting zesty and fresh.
