Limoncello Lemon Sorbet with Mint

Instead of complaining about the heat, Jane controls the things she can. One such way is making this zippy limoncello lemon sorbet with the added freshness of mint, a perfect summer treat. It’s a fantastic recipe that includes a genius if unorthodox step to extend the shelf life of your sorbet.
