This refreshing sorbetto evokes the essence of a Southern Italian citrus orchard. A blend of lemon, orange and lime juices are brightened by a confetti of zests that add a special a zing.

- 1 lime, juice of, 2-4 TBLS
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 lime, zest of
- 1/2 lemon, zest of
- 1/2 orange, zest of
Directions
1
Combine sugar and water in a small pot, bring to a boil reduce and simmer just until sugar is dissolved, let cool.2
Stir together all the juices, zests and vanilla, add in ½ cup of sugar syrup, taste and add more until desired sweetness is reached; with a ½ cup of syrup, this is a tart and refreshing sorbetto which makes a perfect palate cleanser. Add more syrup for a sweeter flavor, especially if serving children.3
Transfer to an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacture’s instructions.4
Note:.5
Every ice cream maker is different; follow the general directions for yours. My gelato machine allows me to only have to slightly cool the syrup, you may have to chill syrup & juice blend before mixing.6
You may serve the sorbetto right away, or pack in a freezer container and allow to ripen.7
With ½ cup syrup this makes a scant pint.

Tangy and full of citrus flavours. This is a cleansing and refreshing sorbetto. Even my daughter enjoyed it and she always prefers ice cream. We did not find the zest to be too 'big', but I have a fine-toothed zester. My lime yielded about 3 tablespoons of juice. Thanks for a fine creation.

Yummy! The citrus flavor in this is kind of zippy and refreshing. I used Splenda granular in mine to reduce the carbs and that was great. This has just the right balance of lemon and orange. Definitely 5 stars! Made for ZWT4 Kumquat's Kookin' Kaboodles. ~Sue

My DH and I tried this tonight and he said to give this 7 stars! Wow! I used the minimum sugar — i.e., 1/2 cup and DH said he wouldn't make it any sweeter! This is fabulous, and I'll be making this all summer long as a follow-up to our Mexican and Indian dinners — palate cleansing, after all! Thanks Chic Chefs! Made for ZWT4.

I used all the sugar syrup in here after reading the reviews and I also used sugar substitute and didn't use an ice cream maker but a blender. Works for me! It came out as if I used an ice cream maker. lol Love having this in this heat! Thanks! Made for WZT4.
