Recipe: Blood Orange Sorbet

Blood oranges are all the rage right now. A currently in season stunning citrus fruit, cousin to the average orange, that lends itself to many a recipe. How about one more?

I had never tried a blood orange before this recipe. I was interested in their flavor and their gorgeous, albeit slightly unnerving color. To be honest, when I was squeezing the oranges, the blood red juice had me feeling a little uneasy. But I had nothing to fear. :) Following the same steps as the Pomegranate Sorbet from last year, I froze the juice in an ice cube tray. When it had fully frozen, the cubes went into the food processor with simple syrup, lemon juice to brighten the flavor and a pinch of salt and blended until smooth.

It is divine. The color makes my heart race and the flavor is so fresh and bright. I ate half of it all by myself. And if MJ isn’t quick about it, I will eat the other half too.

Take care.
