Orange Sorbet

Inspired by the stack of oranges on my table, I made some sorbet. I think I'll make sorbet out of all the extra fruit I encounter, so I can enjoy the refreshing treat every afternoon. It's very good. And makes me very happy.

I know we are in the dead of winter, surrounded by frost and frigid temperatures, but truthfully I could have ice cream and sorbet all year round regardless of the temperature outside. Chilly temperatures are not enough to keep me away from the freezer.

This sorbet a great color and taste. Squeezing the juice by hand took time, but it was so worth it. The flavor is so vibrant. Not too sweet not too sour. So here is to sorbet in the middle of winter!
