Orange you glad I made sorbet?

With summer here, sorbet is a staple to have in our freezer. Homemade sorbet is even sweeter! Here's our quick and tasty sorbet recipe. This is orange sorbet, but we get creative sometimes but adding some freshly juiced lemon, raspberry or lime juice... yummmm!

The first step is to have an ice cream maker. One of our favorite wedding presents is our ice cream maker. It's a great tool to have in your bag of tricks.

Start by making a simple syrup by taking 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar and boiling in a sauce pan. Bring the syrup to room temp and mix with 3 cups orange juice (which we always have in the fridge.) Pop in the ice cream maker and let it do it's thing until it's icy and somewhat firm but fluffy (usually it takes about 30 minutes.)

When it looks like this...

...put it in some Ziploc containers, the kind with the twist on tops (they keep out excess air the best) and keep in the freezer for whenever your sweet tooth comes to visit.

Orange you glad you have this recipe now?
