Questions people ask about Lime Sherbet
How long does Lime Sherbet take?
About 5 minutes from starting to sitting down, and it is straightforward. That is start-to-finish, so it works on a weeknight when you have not planned anything.
What is the one thing to get right in Lime Sherbet?
Dissolve the sugar in the cold water first, stirring properly. Sugar added after the lemon never quite dissolves.
What can I use instead of lemon in Lime Sherbet?
Use lime, or 1 tsp vinegar in a pinch. Add acid off the heat either way.
Can I make Lime Sherbet ahead of time?
You can prepare it a few hours ahead and reheat gently. It keeps two days in the fridge, though it is best on the day.
Is Lime Sherbet vegetarian?
Yes, and as written it is vegan too. Check your specific brands if that matters to you.
How long does home-made lime sherbet keep?
Best made and drunk the same day. Anything blended with fruit separates within a couple of hours, so stir or shake it before pouring.
