Recipe Note
*Blood Orange Sherbet
Ingredients
50g blood orange peel
200g caster sugar
200g blood orange juice
Method
Use a potato peeler to zest blood oranges, then juice the zested oranges. Once you have 100g of orange zest, cover with caster sugar in a sealable container. Leave this at room temperature for 3-4 hours or in the fridge overnight, shaking occasionally to redistribute the oil pulled from the peels. Add juice to the peel/sugar mixture and stir or shake until the sugar is fully dissolved. Strain out the peels. This is shelf stable for two weeks in the refrigerator or 4 months frozen. This recipe can also be scaled up or down depending on how much you want to make.
