aperitivo sorbetto

i am going to go on a little rant about jamie oliver for a second before i get started on this one.. so i have been thinking lots about campari lately. then some folks put the idea in my head for blood orange sorbet. then i got to googling. and found this wonderful, simple recipe for campari and citrus sorbet. and it comes from no other than jamie oliver. i try to keep my feelings for jamie on the inside. he is married and has a wonderful family. and he is famous and lives in a different country. but my goodness! he has the most endearing way of speaking, he is handsome and adorable and goofy as hell looking all at the same time. and he can cook. and i love the way he cooks. he keeps it simple, using good stuff and bringing out the best in it. and that is why i love this sorbet so much.

it is mostly fresh grapefruit juice (5). also: fresh orange juice (2), fresh lemon juice (2), 1 1/2 cups of sugar, 1 cup of campari. mix it together and let the sugar dissolve, then get it in the ice cream spinner. super easy and so refreshing. all the fresh citrus really zings and the campari gives it that "ooo! what is this extra flavor i am tasting?!" excitement.

i think this might be the start of a series of aperitivo and digestivo sorbets..

next up- lillet blanc and orange. fernet branca with maybe camomile? rhubarb? strawberries?

jamie oliver: if you read this, i would give you my preserved lemons recipe.
