A strange and delicious citrus sorbet
Thinly slice 3 blood oranges. Layer them with several cups of sugar to cure for a couple days. (thanks, LoveLikeYeast!) A syrupy blood orange liquid will come from from that, which will serve as the base for the sorbet.
Juice a couple grapefruits, a couple blood oranges, a lemon, a couple tangerines, and a navel orange and add to the blood orange syrup.
Put the above in the ice cream maker to churn.
Process the rinds and flesh of the CURED blood oranges in a food processor. Take 1/2 cup of that and mix with a cup of water to dissolve the remaining sugar granules. Add during the last 2 or 3 minutes of churning (the machine doesn't like chunks).
Transfer immediately to a container and stick in the freezer to set.
This sorbet was bitter from the rinds and the grapefruit juice, but in a compelling way. SO GOOD!
I wish I had taken a picture to show you the pink color.
