Pink Grapefruit Sorbet Recipe

• 3 large Pink or Red Grapefruits (scrubbed)
• 1 cup White Sugar
• ¼ cup Light Corn Syrup
• 4 cups Water
• A dash of Red Food Coloring (optional)

• Remove three long strips of grapefruit peel (only the peel, not the pith), using a large vegetable peeler or large zester. Set aside.
• Squeeze out 2 cups of juice from the grapefruits.
• Combine grapefruits peel, white sugar, corn starch and water in a saucepan, placed over the stove.
• Stir well to dissolve the sugar and bring the contents to a boil. Cook for about 2 minutes.
• Remove and set aside.
• When the mixture has cooled down, keep it in the refrigerator to chill. Remove the grapefruit peel.
• Using a sieve or strainer, strain the grapefruit juice to remove the pulp. Discard the pulp.
• Combine together sugar syrup and grapefruit juice.
• Add in the red food coloring, one drop at a time, to get the desired pink color.
• Pour the preparation into a metal baking container and cover. Put it into the freezer.
• Stir occasionally, until the mixture has set partially, say for about 4 hours.
• Remove and process it in a blender and transfer back into the container.
• Freeze the sorbet until firm.
• Serve chilled.
