Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine water, sugar, and light corn syrup in a small saucepan.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 2 minutes or until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Remove the syrup from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. Puree the peeled kiwifruit in a food processor or blender until smooth, yielding approximately 3/4 cup of puree.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine the kiwi puree, lemon juice, grated lemon peel, and the cooled sugar syrup.
  6. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  7. Pour the mixture into a shallow metal pan or loaf pan.
  8. Place the pan in the freezer for approximately 1 hour, or until the mixture is firm around the edges but still soft in the center.
  9. Remove the pan from the freezer and transfer the semi-frozen mixture to a chilled mixing bowl.
  10. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until it is light, fluffy, and broken up of ice crystals.
  11. Return the beaten mixture to the freezer.
  12. Freeze for approximately 2 hours, or until firm enough to scoop.
