Tangerine Sorbet Sorbette De Mandarina Recipes

TANGERINE SORBET WITH VANILLA CREAM AND CANDIED PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• For the sorbet: Combine the tangerine juice, sugar and Campari if using in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes then process the sorbet in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a bowl, cover tightly and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
• For the pistachios: Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Stir the sugar, 1 tablespoon water and the salt together in a medium bowl. Add the pistachios and stir to coat. Spread the pistachios on the prepared baking sheet and bake until the nuts are golden and crisp, about 8 minutes. Allow the nuts to cool, then coarsely chop and set aside.
• For the vanilla cream: Place the cream in a small bowl. Use a paring knife to scrape the beans from the pod into the cream. Add the empty pod and refrigerate until ready to use.
• To serve, pour 2 tablespoons of the vanilla cream into a martini glass. Add a scoop of sorbet and garnish with pistachios.

MANDARIN SORBET

Steps:

• To make a sugar syrup, whisk together the sugar and water in a small saucepan, place over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Boil for about 30 seconds, or until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear. Remove from the heat and let cool completely before using. (This syrup may be made days, or even weeks, in advance and stored in a tightly covered jar in the refrigerator.)
• In a bowl, stir together the sugar syrup, tangerine juice, and 6 tablespoons lime juice. Taste and add more lime juice if needed to create a strong sweet-tart balance. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve positioned over a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to chill well and develop the flavor.
• Freeze the mixture in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.
• Prepare the base a day or two in advance of churning and let it chill and develop flavor in the refrigerator.
• Churn the sorbet or ice cream at least 2 hours before serving, pack tightly into a container to prevent crystallization, and place in the freezer to firm up and smooth.
• Let the sorbet or ice cream stand at room temperature for about 15 minutes to soften before serving.
• The flavor of a sorbet or ice cream fades after 3 or 4 days. To revive it, thaw it until it is once again a liquid, make any flavor adjustments, and refreeze in an ice-cream maker.
