Enjoy the vibrant, refreshing taste of homemade or store-bought lemon sorbet! This delightful frozen treat is perfect for cleansing the palate or as a light dessert on a warm day. Proper storage ensures its icy perfection and zesty flavor for weeks to come.
Storage Time
Best consumed within 1-2 weeks when stored properly in the freezer. Quality may degrade over time.
Temperature
Store frozen at -18°C (0°F) or colder for optimal freshness and texture.
Freezing
Lemon sorbet is already a frozen product, so refreezing thawed sorbet is not recommended as it can lead to ice crystal formation and a grainy texture. If you have leftover sorbet that has been in the freezer for an extended period, it can still be enjoyed, but its texture might be slightly icier than when it was first made. Ensure the container is airtight to prevent freezer burn.
Signs of Spoilage
- Significant ice crystal formation on the surface, indicating potential thawing and refreezing or freezer burn.
- A noticeable change in texture, becoming overly icy, watery, or mushy.
- Development of off-odors, such as a fermented or stale smell, which can occur if the sorbet has been contaminated or stored improperly.
