How to Make Chic Chef's Citrus Sorbetto

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup lemon juice, 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup lime juice, the zest of 2 lemons, 1 orange, and 1 lime, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. Add 1 cup of the cooled sugar syrup to the citrus mixture. Taste and add more syrup, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired sweetness. (For a tarter sorbetto, use less syrup; for a sweeter sorbetto, use more.)
  4. If making for children, or preferring a sweeter sorbetto, add more syrup to taste.
  5. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  6. Once frozen, you can serve immediately for a softer sorbetto, or transfer to a freezer-safe container and allow to harden further for a firmer texture. Allowing it to ripen in the freezer for a few hours will enhance the flavor.
