Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • Zest from one blood orange
  • 2 cups-blood orange juice (about 6-8 oranges)
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup sugar (or use 1/3 cup honey or agave)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 -2 tablespoons champagne, white wine or orange liqueur (all optional)

Instruction

  • Zest one orange and place the zest aside. Juice all the blood oranges (or any other citrus), enough to make 2 cups.
  • Place the water,  zest, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup sugar in a small saucepan, warming over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved. You don’t want this hot, just warm enough to dissolve sugar.
  • Add this to the blood orange juice with scant splash of white wine, champagne or orange liqueur ( which will improve the texture.) This is optional.
  • Chill thoroughly, then place in your ice cream maker or sorbet maker, churning until desired consistency.
  • Best eaten immediately!
