Blood Orange Sorbet

How pretty is this? Not only pretty pink but tasty also.

A Thermomix recently found it's way to my kitchen. A little snippet on David Lebovitz and I was off googling Thermomix. A couple of emails, a phone call and suddenly Eva was demonstrating and cooking us lunch on the Thermomix machine.

The Thermomix replaces a myriad of kitchen appliances which is perfect for those of us who have downsized to an apartment with a smaller kitchen and less cupboard space.

You can read all about my new best friend over at the Thermomix site. I'd rather talk about the wonderful Blood Orange Sorbet I made today. This is how quick and easy it is to make sorbet in a Thermomix.

1. Place sugar in bowl and mill for 10 seconds on speed 9
2. Add the fruit followed by 1 tray of ice and egg white. Slowly turn speed dial to 10.
3. Add the remaining ice after 20 seconds and continue on speed 10 for 40 seconds.
4. Serve immediately or place in freezer until ready to serve.

If you haven't tried blood orange you must. The taste is very different to a conventional orange.

My previous sorbet recipe made the conventional way can be found here.
