    Sorbet is one of the easiest summer treats to make in that it requires just a few ingredients, depending on the flavor you are going for. This time around, I opted for orange sorbet. It makes for a great, refreshing summery treat!

    🌟 What makes this orange sorbet so awesome

    3 Orange Sorbet balls with a sprig of mint.

    Just 3 ingredients: All you need to make this orange sorbet is orange juice, water, and sugar!

    But not too much sugar: Adding to much sugar can make the sorbet too slushy, so I used just over a cup in this recipe to make 4 servings.

    Done in 30 minutes: Just a half hour in the ice cream maker, and this sorbet is ready to enjoy!

    🛒 Ingredient notes

    sugar in large jar.

    Sugar - Some sorbet recipes call for 6 cups of sugar (6! Whole cups of sugar! That's crazy talk, people!) You don't need to use that much. Just 1 ¼ cups of sugar in this recipe resulted in a sorbet that was the perfect of blend of ice, slush, sweetness, and citrus.

    ✅ Step-by-step instructions

    1. In a small sauce pot over medium-high heat, bring sugar and water to a boil, then turn down to low and simmer until the sugar is dissolved. This takes about 3-5 minutes.

    2. Remove simple syrup from heat and allow to cool.

    3. Pour orange juice into a large bowl.

    4. Once the simple syrup is cool, add to the bowl of orange juice and mix with a whisk gently until the sugar and orange juice are well blended.

    5. Turn on your ice cream maker, pour the mixture through the top opening, and allow it to do its magic according to the manufacturer instructions. My ice cream maker turned the mixture into a lovely orange juice sorbet in 30 minutes.

    ❓Recipe FAQs

    How long will sorbet keep in the freezer?

    In an airtight container, sorbet will stay good for up to 3 weeks.

    What is the difference between sorbet and sherbet?

    The difference is dairy. Sorbet contains no dairy while sherbet uses a bit of cream or milk to produce a richer texture.

    Ingredients

    • 1 ¼ cup sugar
    • 3 cups water
    • 2 ¼ cup orange juice

    Instructions

    • In a small sauce pot over medium-high heat, bring sugar and water to a boil, then turn down to low and simmer until the sugar is dissolved. This takes about 3-5 minutes. This creates a classic simple syrup that you can use in almost any sorbet recipe.
    • Remove simple syrup from heat and allow to cool.
    • Pour orange juice into a large bowl.
    • Once the simple syrup is cool, add to the bowl of orange juice and mix with a whisk gently until the sugar and orange juice are well blended.
    • Turn on your ice cream maker, pour the mixture through the top opening, and allow to do its magic according to manufacturer instructions. My ice cream maker turned the mixture into a lovely orange juice sorbet in 30 minutes.

    Notes

    Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three weeks (if it will last that long without being gobbled up!).

        Can I make this and then freeze it in a bowl to a soft frozen state, stir it with a fork and then let it freeze all the way? I don't have an ice cream maker. I'm going to be on a clear liquid diet starting 4 days before major surgery and probably post surgery.
        HELP!

          Norma, I have only made this using an ice cream maker, so I can't vouch for how it will turn out if you use other non-ice cream maker methods. You can try to freeze the base, and then process in a food processor, and freeze again. I've done that with other ice cream recipes, but not this one in particular. If you do try it, please let me know how it goes. And good luck with your surgery!
