Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Blood Oranges

    Juice the blood oranges until you have about 4 cups of juice. Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp or seeds.

  2. 2

    Make the Simple Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Allow to cool.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the blood orange juice, cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until it is well chilled.

  5. 5

    Freeze the Sorbet

    Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. Transfer to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours until firm.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones and enjoy!
