Preparation of Ingredients
Juicing the Oranges
Wash the fresh oranges thoroughly, then cut them in half. Use a juicer or manual squeezer to extract the juice from the oranges until you have 4 cups of juice. Strain the juice to remove any pulp if desired.
Making the Sugar Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
Combining Ingredients
Mixing the Sorbet Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the strained orange juice, cooled sugar syrup, lemon juice, and orange zest. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Freezing the Sorbet
Chilling in the Freezer
Pour the orange mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, usually around 20-30 minutes. If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer.
Freezing Until Firm
If using an ice cream maker, transfer the sorbet to a sealed container and freeze for at least 2 hours until it is firm. If using a shallow dish, stir the mixture every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours, then let it freeze until firm, about 4-6 hours.
