Flavor #3 - Orange Sorbet

I love sorbet. To me, it is like a popsicle in a bowl. Fresh fruit, water and sugar with very little actual prep. I had not made Orange in a while and was concerned it would not look right.  Organic sugar is brownish and really browns up when you make the simple syrup.  Even after mixing the bright orange juice the overall mix was pretty dingy.  After the mix and the hard freeze, the color came back out.

 2 freshly squeezed oranges - about 1 Cup

1 Cup simple syrup.

This was a somewhat small batch. As I refuse to add food coloring, It won't look like a traditional popsicle, but the taste is equally refreshing. One trick to remember; when making the simple syrup, go easy on the sugar. If you keep the traditional 1 to 1 ratio while making certain fruit sorbets your finished product may come out too syrupy if you don't factor in the added natural sugar in the fruit you are using.
