Orange Gelato

Ingredients
1 1/4 Cups Icing Sugar
1 1/2 Cups Fresh Orange Juice
2 Cups Water
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
2 Tablespoons Cointreau/Grand Mariner
2 Eggs (whites only)
1/4 Cup Icing Sugar

Equipment
1 Large Pan
1 Airtight Container
1 Wooden Spoon
1 Mixing Bowl
1 Balloon Whisk

The Good Bit

1. Place the largest amount of icing sugar in the pan along with the water, orange juice and lemon, Stir over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved then bring to a rapid boil and then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
2. Allow the mixture to cool before you pour it into your container, now's the time to add the booze, then place in the freezer and check from time to time. When it begins to form ice around the edges, whip your egg whites until they form soft peaks, stir in the remaining sugar then fold your eggs into the orange slush and freeze again.
   

Strawberry Sorbet

Ingredients

2 Cups Water
2 Cups Sugar
2 1/2Kg Strawberries (hulled)
4 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
4 Tablespoons Grand Mariner (optional)

Equipment

1 Blender
1 Large Pan
1 Airtight Container
1 Metal Fork
1 Tablespoon

The Good Bit

1. Start by bring your sugar and water to the boil, you want to get to the point where the syrup is clear, then simmer for 5 minutes, then allow to cool (i usually hold my pan in a bowl of cold water at this point to speed things up, then i place it in the fridge)
2. Whilst you are waiting for your syrup to cool, pass your strawberries through the blender until you have a smooth paste, then add them to the syrup along with the lemon juice and grand mariner (if using) and give a good stir the pour in your container and place in the freezer.
3. You may have to check every 30 minutes or so to make sure ice is forming, when it does begin, scrape/stir the sorbet so that it doesn't just form one big block of ice. enjoy out in the sun!!! (why not try 1 scoop of 3 different sorbets!!)
