Lemon Granita in Fruit Saucers
By the time your guests have nibbled appetizers and enjoyed the tangy salad, this cool lemony palate cleanser will prepare them for the rest of the meal. Serve with panache, by stuffing hollowed out lemons with the sorbet. You can make this several days ahead of time.

 

INGREDIENTS

1 pint lemon sorbet
8 large lemons
8 small sprigs fresh mint
 



METHOD

Keep the sorbet frozen until ready to use. Slice off the top of the lemon, cutting into the fruit so that it has a zig-zag edge. Cut off a slice from the bottom so that the lemon will stand. Using a paring knife, hollow out the lemons, removing all of the fiber and pits, leaving the white pith and the outer shell intact. Fill each lemon half with sorbet, leveling it out with a knife. Wrap the filled lemons with plastic freezer wrap and freeze until ready to serve. Remove from the freezer and send to the table with a sprig of mint and the top of the lemon attached to the side with a toothpick, like the tip of a hat.
