Happy Monday! Â For whatever reason, I feel absolutely refreshed by a wonderful weekend and ready to tackle the week. Â That doesn’t happen that often!
By February, it always seems that winter has outstayed its welcome. Â One of my favorite things about winter is that citrus season. Â Although grapefruit are on the way out, there is still time to pick up a bag to make this amazing grapefruit sorbet recipe! Â It is the perfect mix of tart and sweet, and is absolutely refreshing. Â The color is absolutely stunning too! Â It’s enough to make me wax poetic.
I remember reading somewhere that if you put your citrus in the microwave for a few seconds before squeezing, it makes it easier to get every last bit of juice out. Â Of course, I forgot to try it, but let me know if you do and have any success!
Grapefruit Sorbet Recipe
- Yield: 4-6 1x
Ingredients
- 5 c. freshly squeezed grapefruit juice (from about 6 large grapefruit)
- 1 1/2 c. sugar
Instructions
- Combine grapefruit juice and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat and whisk until sugar dissolves, around 5-6 minutes.
- Refrigerate for 25 minutes, or until chilled.
- Pour the chilled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the directions – for me, this was about 25 minutes.
- After churning, pour into a container and freeze for 6-8 hours until frozen.
This looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it!
I love the pale pink color of this sorbet! I recently made tangerine sorbet and now I’m hooked—I’ll have to try each and every citrus fruit before I’m satisfied 🙂
Ooo! Tangerine sorbet? I’d love to have the recipe if you’re keen to share!
Grapefruit sorbet is my very favorite frozen treat. It has a very sophisticated taste which makes it perfect for more formal dinners. I like serving it in a fancy glass. I fill glass 1/3rd way with the grapefruit sorbet, even it out, sprinkle a layer of fresh chopped mint, another level of sorbet, another level of mint, another level of sorbet, then top it with a single mint leaf. The fresh mint really adds to the visual beauty while giving it an exquisite dash of flavor.
Hi Sarah – That sounds absolutely amazing! I’ll definitely try this the next time I make it!
Hi there. The current Food on Friday on Carole’s Chatter is collecting links to posts about ice cream and sorbets – or anything similar like gelato. I do hope you link this in. This is the link . Please do check out some of the other links – there are a lot of good ones already. Have a great week.
Hey Carole – I think I missed your post but it looks great! Keep me posted about future chatters!
I’m putting my core in the freezer now. I don’t now why I don’t eat this every day…
I know! It’s too easy – just sugar and grapefruit! I want to try it with other citrus too.
This sorbet looks delicious (and gorgeous)! My housemate and I recently made some rosemary simple syrup, and I think I’ll have to make this ASAP to go with it.
Hey – I just read that you recently got married and moved to SF! I also recently got married and live in the Bay:)
