To kick off the new year we are lightening things up just a little. In an effort to help any who have resolved to cut a few pounds, we have cut out the fats for this treat. Don’t think that means less taste, though. This little serving of sorbet is bursting with flavor.
Clementines are populating shelves around the US this month. This is a great time to take advantage of them and save some money, too. Their size makes them a great healthy snack. In our treat, their sweetness is punctuated with lemon juice to round out the flavor.
This combination freezes up so nicely in an ice cream maker. You are going to love it! Serve them in their own containers with a touch of frost from the freezer. It’s the perfect winter treat.
savour… seasonal sweetness
Before you start:
When scooping the flesh from the clementine shells get as much of the membrane as possible.
You need 3 ¾ cups of total liquid when finished. Make up any deficiency with orange juice.
You will likely have more sorbet than necessary. Store it in an airtight container in the freezer.
