Pink Grapefruit or Pomelo Sorbet
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/2 cup mint leaves, washed, plus extra for garnish
- 3 cups freshly squeezed pink grapefruit juice (reserve 2 grapefruit halves for serving)
- 1 grapefruit or pomelo, for garnish
- 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.
