Tangerine Sorbet #SundaySupper

Whenever I go on a cooking bender, I turn to music to help keep me motivated. Sometimes it’s classical or jazz, especially if I’m baking. If I’m prepping for a party, it’s probably going to be something with an upbeat tempo, such as rock. Unless, of course, it’s my annual holiday party, and then only holiday music will do. I’m funny like that. For this week’s #SundaySupper, Susan over at the Girl in the Little Red Kitchen is hosting virtual potluck of foods inspired by music, and I’m bringing this refreshing tangerine sorbet, inspired by Caviar’s Tangerine Speedo.

The reason I chose this song is simple–I wanted something quirky and fun. In that regard, this loungy-rock song delivers. What I didn’t expect was to have it stuck in my head for days. Literally in a continuous loop, which led to some serious writer’s block. Every time I’d start working on this post, Tangerine Speedo would start playing in my head. Don’t get me wrong, I love the song, but it took some serious Zeppelin therapy to purge. In sticking with the theme, I simply listened to one of my Zeppelin favorites–Tangerine. Cleared everything right up.

Now about this sorbet … did I mention how refreshing it is? Seriously, bright and fresh. Since using fresh tangerine juice is paramount, I picked up a bunch of Gold Nugget Tangerines, which are super plump and juicy. The recipe, which I’ve adapted from The Martha Stewart Cookbook is simple and provides the perfect finish to any meal.

Have you ever seen such large tangerines? Get the peel grated, then start juicing.

This is where having a citrus juicer comes in handy, ‘cuz doing this manually would have been a pain!

Heat up about 1/2 cup of the juice, and add the sugar–stirring until it’s dissolved. Remove this from the heat, and stir in the remaining juice along with the grated peel, then put in the fridge until thoroughly chilled.

Prepare it in your ice cream maker following the manufacturer’s instructions. In case you’re wondering, this is the KitchenAid ice cream maker attachment, and it rocks.

Enjoy a nice big bowl–not only is it tasty, but it’s healthy too (it is just juice, after all)!
