Instructions

1

Make a Simple Syrup

Combine the granulated sugar with half a cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Bring to a gentle simmer for 2 minutes until slightly syrupy, then remove from heat and let the simple syrup cool to room temperature for about 15 minutes.

2

Combine and Chill

Stir the fresh orange juice and lemon juice into the cooled simple syrup until fully combined into a bright orange liquid. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe dish or a standard loaf pan and place in the freezer for 1 hour until the edges begin to freeze.

3

Freeze and Scrape

Every 30 minutes for the next 3 hours, scrape the partially frozen sorbet vigorously with a fork, breaking up ice crystals and stirring the frozen edges into the center to create a light, fluffy texture. After the final scrape when it reaches a uniform slushy-solid consistency, scoop into chilled bowls and serve immediately or store covered.

Substitutions

orange juiceblood orange juice for a deeper color and slightly more tart flavor
granulated sugarhoney for a floral sweetness, using slightly less as honey is sweeter

Common mistakes

Skipping the scraping steps and freezing solid without breaking up crystals, resulting in an icy solid block instead of smooth sorbet
Using bottled orange juice instead of fresh, which lacks the bright flavor needed for a vibrant sorbet
