Ingredients

Sugar Syrup

1 cup boiling water

1-1/4 cups sugar

Sorbet

1-2/3 cup grapefruit juice (about 4 softball-sized grapefruits, strained)

1 cup sugar syrup (see above)

1 tbsp lemon juice, strained

1 tbsp Campari or Grenadine (optional, for color)

1 x egg white

1 x tbsp grapefruit zest (zest of one of the above grapefruits)

Directions

Sugar Syrup

Boil water. Pour over sugar in a bowl. Stir to dissolve. Cool and chill.

For a larger amount, the ratio is one kilo of sugar per liter of water (5 cups sugar and four cups water). Put these together in a saucepan and bring to a boil for 4 minutes to dissolve the sugar. Cool and chill.

Sorbet

Finely grate (I use a microplane) a tablespoon of zest from one washed grapefruit, and reserve. Combine the grapefruit juice, sugar syrup, lemon juice, and Campari in a jug. Chill in the fridge for a few hours until it is very, very cold.

Pour the sorbet mixture into an ice-cream machine and churn to slushy, 15 minutes. Whisk a spoonful or two with the egg white and zest, using a fork. Pour this back into the slushy sorbet and continue churning for five minutes. Spoon into a storage container and freeze a few hours so that the flavors intensify and the ice gets hard. Serve.
