Awesome! I've decided I have to eat it as soon as it is made as my freezer makes it too cold. The last batch broke the plastic container when I tried to scoop.

This one is for Stacey!

 :-*

I made this last night:

Lemon-Buttermilk Sherbet
Adpated from "Perfect Scoop" by David Lebovitz
Makes about 3+ cups

1/3 c. (80 ml) water
2/3 c. (130 gm) sugar
Zest of one lemon
2 c. (500 ml) buttermilk
1/4 c. freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)

Combine water and sugar in medium, nonreactive pan. Grate lemon zest directly into pan. While stirring frequently, heat until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. When syrup reaches room temp., then chill in refrigerator.  Whisk buttermilk into syrup, then mix in lemon juice. Freeze accordingly.

I topped it with fresh berries....and used low fat buttermilk.  OMG it's good.

That looks really good, but can you get buttermilk here?

Yep. It's in a smaller container, like cream, not a milk carton, though.

I made strawberry ice cream last night and it was lovely!

Though, next time I won't store any leftovers in the ice cream bowl. I tried to serve some up two hours after making it and it was ROCK hard!!

It's taken me forever to get back online and onto this thread!  But just wanted to say that everything that vnicepeeps cooked for us was AMAZING!  I'm telling y'all get on over there to Virginia and meet her - you'll be waddling away fully stuffed!  The ice cream (both!) was delish!  ;D

I forgot to mention, I used splenda instead of sugar. (For lower carb) and it really just came out so well!
