OK this stuff is absolute heaven! It's got the right amount of tart and sweet and it's easy to make.

Lime Sorbet

ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups Water
  
• 3/4 Cup sugar
  
• Zest of one whole lime
  
• 3/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice. Include the pulp. (this takes aoub t 5 large or 9 small limes to make)
  

In a medium saucepan, mix 1 cup of the water with the sugar and lime zest.
Heat until the sugar is dissolved, constantly stirring.

Remove from heat and add the remaining 1 1/4 cup of water and lime juice.
Put into a bowl and allow to completely chill in the refrigerator.

Once this is thoroughly cool, freeze in your ice cream maker.
If you don't have one, you can put it in a container with a lid and freeze. Stir every hour until frozen.

Serve a little on the soft side.

Variations:
When mixture is cooled, before putting it in your ice cream maker to freeze, add a few tablespoons of Champagne or sparkling wine.

Put sorbet in a Margarita glass and pour a shot of Tequila over it to make a Margarita Slushie. Top with a small amount of coarse salt.

Use your imagination with alcoholic additives! The lime goes great with nearly anything.
