Whoever said icy treats should only be savored in the peak of summer? Satsumas shine in mid-winter. Here’s a special way to enjoy them.
Time: Preparation 6 hours
Serving: 1 Servings
Ingredients
- 0.75 c sugar
- 1 c water
- 2.5 c satsuma juice
- 6 T lime juice
Preparation
Make a simple syrup by whisking together the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and simmer until sugar is dissolved and syrup is clear, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, stir together the simple syrup, Satsuma juice, and lime juice. Taste, and add more lime juice if you’d like it more tart. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, then cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
Freeze the mixture in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Eat right away, or if you like your sorbet quite firm, leave in the freezer for an additional 3-4 hours before serving.
