Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Boil for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and allow the syrup to cool completely to room temperature.
  3. Pour the cooled syrup into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the fresh lemon peel and fresh lemon juice until well combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container or shallow pan and freeze until the edges begin to freeze and the mixture becomes mushy (about 1-2 hours).
  5. Remove from freezer and beat with a whisk or hand mixer until smooth and slushy.
  6. Return to the freezer and freeze until firm again (about 2-3 hours).
  7. Remove from freezer and beat again until smooth and creamy.
  8. Spread the mixture evenly into a chilled shallow 8x8 inch metal pan or ice cube trays.
  9. Cover tightly and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer.
