-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 cups fresh blood orange juice

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

3 teaspoons blood orange zest -- (grated) (3-4)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice -- (1-2)

2 tablespoons cognac

 

Strain the juice and discard the pulp. Combine the sugar and water in a

heavy-bottomed pot and heat slowly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add

the grated orange zest, turn up the heat, and boil the syrup for five minutes.

Remove from the heat and let the syrup cool.

 

Combine the orange juice and syrup, and taste. Add the lemon juice, a bit at a

time, until the sweet-tart balance is just right. Stir in the cognac, and chill

the mixture thoroughly.

 

Freeze in an ice-cream maker, following manufacturer's instructions.

 

Serve this delicious sorbet by itself, accompanied by dark chocolate biscotti,

or alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

 

Makes 6-8 servings.
