Lemon Ice: Aggie, who has kindly shared several recipes, says: "This is a Lemon Ice recipe from a friend in CT who said it was passed down from her Italian ancestors. We have enjoyed it."
Prep Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- See Below
Preparation:
1 Cup sugar
4 Cups boiling water........dissolve the sugar in the water, cool.
Then add 3/4 Cup fresh lemon juice and 1 Tablespoon grated rind...do not grate the pith (white) or it will be bitter. Freeze in a tray, stirring the crystals about every now and then lest the ice freeze rock solid. When it's frozen scoop into little pleated cups and enjoy!
It comes closest to the lemon ice we had in Brooklyn when I was a little girl.
A note: This will also be nice after a fish dish in the course of a meal.
