Steps:

  • For pink grapefruit marmalade:

  • Combine blanched rind, sugar, grapefruit juice, and star anise in same medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture is almost dry, stirring occasionally, about 18 minutes. Discard star anise. Transfer mixture to mini processor and puree until smooth. Transfer marmalade to small bowl. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover and chill.

GRAPEFRUIT-MINT SORBET TASTY! NO ICE CREAM MAKER NEEDED!



Grapefruit-Mint Sorbet Tasty! No Ice Cream Maker Needed! image

This is one of the best refreshing tasty sorbets. Excellent when served between courses. NOTE: This is an adopted recipe and Wikipedia says: "Sorbet (or sorbetto, sorbeto) is a frozen dessert made from iced fruit puree and other ingredients. The term "sherbet" is derived from the Turkish word for "sorbet", serbat which in turn comes from Arabic. Sorbet is a form of gelato that contains no milk, unlike ice cream. Sorbets may contain alcohol (which lowers the freezing temperature, resulting in a softer sorbet). Unlike ice cream, the machinery used whips almost no air into the sorbet, resulting in a dense and extremely flavorful product. This allows sorbet to match and sometimes exceed dairy-based gelato or ice cream for taste" so I have put this into the ZWT REGION: Middle East.
