Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup key lime preserves
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 4 cups lime flavored club soda or seltzer
- Kosher salt
Directions
Combine sugar, preserves and 1 cup of the soda in a medium saucepan and stir over low heat until sugar and preserves are melted. Add citrus juice and zest. Stir in the remaining soda, move to a clean, lidded container and chill thoroughly, 2 to 3 hours.
Turn mixture in ice cream maker per maker's instructions or until mixture reaches the consistency of a firm slush. Return mixture to lidded container and harden in freezer 1 hour before serving.
If sorbet is to be held frozen for longer than 2 hours, move from freezer to refrigerator for about half an hour before serving. If you'd like a more assertive sorbet, double the amount of citrus zest.

My whole family was wowed by this sorbet. And I love the fact that it is somewhat healthier than ice cream too. So sweet, refreshing and delicious -- thanks, Alton!!! :

this was just wonderful! I used lime curd and lime flavored sparkling water....just excellent! great taste and consistency. also, put just a teeny drop of green food coloring in.....so refreshing! when you pull up this recipe it says categories: dairy, fruit, etc...not sure where the "dairy" is....but, whatever.....

I couldn't find them anywhere either jessalyn, so I made my own. One bag of limes will make an ample supply of lime marmalade. The marmalade can then be used to make the sorbet, with plenty left over for spreading on toast.
And once you have the original recipe down, try adding a touch of cold tequila just before churning. It's my favorite variation.
