Now add more lemon juice if needed?this will depend on the acidity of all the fruit. Remember, this sorbet should not be too sweet. Add more grenadine if you want it to be pinker.

BLUEBERRY SORBET AND PINK GRAPEFRUIT SORBET COUPE

Steps:

• For Blueberry Sorbet:
• Combine all ingredients in medium bowl. Let stand until berries thaw and sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally, about 2 hours, or cover and chill overnight. Transfer mixture to blender or processor. Blend until mixture is smooth but specks of blueberry are still visible. Transfer to ice cream maker; process according to manufacturer's instructions. Spoon sorbet into container. Cover and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours.
• For Grapefruit Sorbet:
• Using knife, cut peel and white pith from grapefruit. Working over bowl, cut between membranes to release segments. Squeeze any juice from membranes into bowl. Discard any seeds. Cut each segment into pieces; add to bowl. Transfer contents of bowl to 4-cup glass measuring cup.
• Place 3 cups grapefruit and juice mixture in blender (reserve any remainder for another use). Add 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar and vodka. Blend until almost smooth and sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Taste and add more sugar by tablespoons, if desired; blend to combine.
• Transfer to ice cream maker; process according to manufacturer's instructions. Spoon sorbet into container. Cover and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours. (Sorbets can be made 1 day ahead.)
• Arrange 1 scoop of each sorbet in dessert goblets. Garnish with fresh blueberries and grapefruit segments, if desired.

PINK GRAPEFRUIT OR POMELO SORBET

Steps:

• Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil until the sugar dissolves and the syrup is clear. Remove from heat, add 1/2 cup of the mint leaves and steep 15 minutes. Strain syrup, let cool and refrigerate until chilled. (The syrup will keep, refrigerated, for 2 weeks.)
• In a bowl, mix the pink grapefruit juice with the syrup. Pour into an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions. Transfer to a container and freeze until serving time. Wrap and freeze the reserved grapefruit halves. Meanwhile, peel the grapefruit or pomelo and pull it apart into segments. Using the tip of a small sharp knife, loosen the white membrane surrounding each segment and pull it away, trying not to pierce any of the little juice pods. Break up the segments into the juice pods and set aside.
• Place the sorbet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
• Scatter half the grapefruit or pomelo juice pods over the bottom of the frozen grapefruit halves. Scoop sorbet over the grapefruit and cover with remaining grapefruit juice pods. Garnish with mint leaves.
