Ruby heart-stealer valentine sorbet
Sorbets
I love blood oranges with their mild raspberry –like flavor when they are in season. The sparkling wine adds a slightly crisp back note, and you can use prosecco, cava, or freixenet to your own pleasing. The blood oranges give you a little cupid blush. You will need an Ice cream maker for this. I use a Cuisinart model with a maximum capacity of 1 ½ quarts. I prepared this sorbet for a Valentine’s dinner for 30 people with an alternate mandarin sorbet. It’s tricky because once it is finished you need to serve it right away or else you must stick it in the freezer quickly. It will begin to get watery almost immediately. A bit of a freeze is kind of the trick and it does hold well for a day or so. Scrape up any frozen bits on the bottom and work them back in before serving. I’ve treated this as a palate cleanser after a spicy main course like gumbo.
