Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

Sorbet
5 tablespoons honey
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
Grapefruit Cups
2 pink grapefruit, halved crosswise
Fried Herbs
Vegetable oil (for frying)
4 fresh mint sprigs
4 fresh sage sprigs
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • For Sorbet:
  • Stir in honey in medium saucepan over low heat until warm. Remove honey from heat. Whisk in buttermilk and corn syrup. Refrigerate buttermilk mixture until cold.
  • Transfer buttermilk mixture to ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer sorbet to covered container and freeze. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Keep frozen.)
  • For Grapefruit Cups:
  • Using small sharp knife, cut around grapefruit to loosen pulp. Remove pulp from grapefruit and reserve for another use. Refrigerate grapefruit shells. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)
  • For Fried Herbs:
  • Pour vegetable oil into heavy large skillet to depth of 1 inch. Heat to 375°F. Working in batches, add mint and sage sprigs to skillet; fry until beginning to crisp but not brown, about 30 seconds. Using slotted spoon, carefully transfer herb sprigs to paper towels; drain. Sprinkle herb sprigs with sugar to coat lightly.
  • Scoop sorbet into each grapefruit cup. Garnish with sugared herb sprigs and serve.
