Recipe calls for juice of 3 lemons
I'm making Sandy Smith's Lemon Basil Sherbet for the first time. It calls for the juice of three lemons. However, my lemons are huge. Is there a standard conversion to Tbsp/lemon in recipes? This is my first attempt with my ice cream maker, and I didn't know if the amount of juice would change the texture. Thanks for any advice!

Recently, I started measuring the juice from lemons because I wanted to freeze extra in ice cube trays in 1 tbs amounts. My lemons have consistently had 2 TBS juice in each lemon. Google says 3 TBS. I nuke mine and get every drop out.

A small lemon will yield 2tbls of juice while a large (soft)one will yield as much as a 1/4 cup, which is probably what your lemons will yield, If the recipe is calling for the juice of 3 lemons I wouldn't use more than 9 tablespoons or a little more than 1/2 cup
