How to Make Moroccan Blood Orange Sorbet
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and ½ cup of water. Place over low heat.
- Stir until the sugar completely dissolves and the syrup becomes clear.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely to room temperature.
- Cut off the top and bottom of 3 large blood oranges so they sit flat.
- Following the curve of the fruit, carefully cut down the sides to remove the rind and white pith.
- Over a bowl, use a small paring knife to separate the orange segments from the membranes, letting them fall into the bowl.
- (Caution: Be careful not to cut yourself!) Once all segments are removed, squeeze any remaining juice from the membranes into the bowl.
- Place the orange segments and juice in a blender. Blend for 10 seconds to roughly chop the fruit. You should have approximately 2 cups of juice and pulp.
- In a medium bowl, combine the orange puree, cooled sugar syrup, 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, ½ teaspoon of ground ginger, and ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Stir until well combined.
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
- Stir the chilled mixture well. If using an ice cream maker, churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. For a firmer sorbet, skip the ice cream maker and freeze in a freezer-safe container for at least 2 hours, or until solid.
- For optimal serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before scooping to soften slightly.
