Grapefruit Sorbet image

Classic sorbet calls for a simple juice-to-sugar ratio that you can customize to fit your ingredients, your menu, and your fancy. Use this grapefruit sorbet recipe as your guide and once you have the basic math down, have some fun. Embolden blood orange with fresh rosemary or thyme, spike grapefruit with an aperitif like Aperol or Campari, or take tangerine up a notch with a squeeze of lime.

Time 6h30m

Yield Makes 1 Quart

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups fresh grapefruit juice (from about 3 1/2 pounds fruit), strained
1/4 cup Campari or Aperol
3/4 cup sugar
Large pinch of sea salt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, heat 1 cup grapefruit juice, Campari, sugar, and salt over medium until sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer to a heatproof container and stir in lemon juice and remaining 2 cups grapefruit juice. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Put a loaf pan or similar container in the freezer. Churn juice mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to chilled pan and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
  • For the best texture, let stand at room temperature 10 minutes to soften slightly. Use an ice cream scoop dipped in hot water, then wiped dry, to serve. Sorbet can be stored, covered, in freezer up to 2 weeks.
