Easy orange sorbet

Cool, refreshing, and not too sweet. Keep a sorbet up your sleeve to serve before a warm meal as a palate cleanser, as the difference in temperature livens up and resets the taste buds.

INGREDIENTS

5 to 6 oranges
1 Tsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp sugar or maple syrup
Pinch of salt
Mint and rind, to garnish

METHOD

1. Cut oranges in half, juicing them. Scoop out the leftovers to create orange ‘bowls’. Pop into the freezer to chill.
2. Add orange juice, lemon juice, sweetener, and salt to a bowl and mix well.
3. Keep in the bowl, or transfer to an ice cream container, and cover. Freeze for 2-3 hours.
4. Remove the frozen mixture from the freezer and scrape it into a blender or food processor. Blend briefly to smoothen, and return to the ice cream container.
5. Serve with a sprig of mint and a pinch of rind, or freeze again if the blending melts the mixture.

TOP TIPS
• Chill the bowls before serving, to avoid premature melting.
• Swap out oranges for another fruit of your choice, ensuring you take mind of the sweet and sour levels and adjust the sugar as needed.
