1-1/4 cups water
1/2 cup sugar
zest of 1 orange
1-1/3 cups fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
small basil leaves for garnish, optional
In a saucepan combine water and
sugar bringing to a boil; add orange zest; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
Strain reserving orange zest for garnish. Cool completely.
Add orange juice and
lemon juice to the cooled simple syrup mixture, pour into a small glass container; cover and
freeze overnight.
Transfer frozen orange sorbet to a food processor and puree until completely smooth.
Make sorbet quenelles using 2 teaspoons transferring
sorbet from one teaspoon to the other making oval or football
shapes and serve in a Chinese spoon; or
use a melon baller to make small balls and serve in stemmed
glasses.
Garnish with basil leaves, reserved orange zest and serve immediately.
Tip: Make orange sorbet quenelles ahead
and
freeze on chilled Chinese spoons making serving time
easier.
This is a delicious
recipe!
