Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 pieces kiwifruit, peeled and diced
- 1 piece orange, peeled and segmented
- 1 tablespoon orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon mint leaves, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring often, until the sugar completely dissolves (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and let the simple syrup cool to room temperature.
Once the syrup has cooled, mix it with 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest in a large bowl. Stir well to combine.
Pour the lemon mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (approximately 20-25 minutes). If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish, freeze, and stir every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals until a smooth texture is achieved (3-4 hours).
While the sorbet is freezing, prepare the kiwi-orange fruit sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine 2 peeled and diced kiwis, segments of 1 orange, 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed orange juice, and 1 teaspoon of honey. Blend until a smooth sauce forms.
Taste the fruit sauce and adjust sweetness with additional honey if necessary. For an extra pop of flavor, stir in 1 teaspoon of finely chopped fresh mint leaves.
To serve, scoop the lemon sorbet into bowls and drizzle the kiwi-orange fruit sauce on top. Garnish with extra mint leaves if desired. Enjoy immediately!
