Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup key lime preserves
- 4 cups lime flavored club soda or seltzer
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 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 and process according to makers 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 youd like a more assertive sorbet, double the amount of citrus zest

Can't find Key Lime Preserves? MAKE THEM!!! (I suspect that's what Mr. Brown would do. Limes are easy to find in the store, and they come with all the pectin you need right inside them. I used limes leftover from a party to make lime marmalade. Now I enjoy most of it on toast and occasionally remove the zest from portions I use in making the sorbet.

The idea of Key Limes being preserved makes sense. However, I have searched high and low and this is not something commonly carried in American grocery stores. This preserve is not at the high end ones either. This is the worst Alton Brown recipe I have tried to make as it does not fit his philosophy of the average American being able to obtain the software and making this recipe. He should have made a more "common" sorbet.

I just found a website that sells the preserves $3.99 for a 10oz jar, and they have a reduced price when you buy in lots (3 & 12. I haven't tried the product yet. I just thrilled to find it at a resonalble price!
