Over the winter, I’ve enjoyed making homemade ice-cream and now that the weather is warming up, I thought I’d try making a refreshing sorbet.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves
- 3 cups red grapefruit juice
- 1 lemon
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.
- Roll the rosemary leaves between your fingers or tap them firmly with the back of a spoon to slightly break the skin of the leaves and release the oils. Add to water and sugar mixture along with the 2 peels from the lemon. Let cool to room temperature.
- Juice about 4 grapefruits to provide 3 cups of grapefruit juice. Add the juice of 1 lemon. Be sure to remove any seeds, but a little pulp can remain.
- Once the sugar and water mixture has cooled, drain out the rosemary leaves and lemon peel. Add to the grapefruit juice.
- Refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
- Pour the sorbet mixture into an electric ice cream maker and mix for 20-30 minutes until it reaches desired consistency.
- Eat immediately or store in the freezer in a closed container.
