8oz (200g) sugar,
1/2 pint (250ml) fresh orange juice,
3/4 pint (375ml) water,
zest of 2 oranges,
juice from a whole lemon

In a saucepan mix together the sugar, water and orange zest. Heat gently, stirring all the time until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil then actually boil the mixture for approx 5 to 8 minutes - until you have a syrup.

This process to make a syrup mixture is common to many ice cream sorbet recipes. You may wish to bookmark this page to refer back to this item.

Remove from the heat and leave to cool. When cool, stir in the orange and lemon juices then transfer the complete mixture into an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

ORANGE ICE CREAM RECIPE

2 large navel oranges
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
4 large egg yolks
Special equipment: an instant-read thermometer; an ice cream maker

Finely grate 2 tablespoons zest from oranges, then halve oranges and squeeze enough juice to measure 1/2 cup. Discard oranges.
Bring milk, 1/4 cup sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon zest to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, then remove from heat and let steep 30 minutes.

Beat together yolks and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until thick and pale, about 1 minute. Add milk mixture in a stream, whisking constantly until combined well. Pour mixture into same saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture coats back of spoon and registers 175°F on thermometer (do not let boil). Immediately remove from heat and pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a metal bowl. Set bowl in a larger bowl of ice water and stir until cold, 10 to 15 minutes.

Stir in orange juice and remaining tablespoon zest and freeze in ice cream maker. Transfer ice cream to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, at least 2 hours.
