Chef's tip

If you are pressed for time, you can replace the sugar syrup with 150ml of cane sugar syrup. For a grapefruit-vanilla sorbet, add a vanilla pod (halved and scraped) into the sugar syrup. For a pink grapefruit-champagne sorbet: remove the water and add 150ml of champagne, 15g of pink grapefruit zest and 100g of sugar into a saucepan. Bring to a boil and leave to cool. Add to the grapefruit juice and stir in the remaining 125g of sugar.

RECIPE STEPS
1Add the water and 100g sugar into a saucepan. Bring to a boil until you obtain a syrup. Remove from the heat, add the juice of half a lemon and leave it to cool.
  • 160 ml water
  • 225 g sugar
  • 0.5 lemon
2Combine the grapefruit juice with the remaining sugar and water, whisking thoroughly. Stir the cooled sugar syrup into the grapefruit syrup, whisking thoroughly.
  • 415 ml grapefruit juice
3Pass the mixture through a sieve to remove the pulp. Place the strained mixture in the fridge until it is very cold.
4Press the Artisanal ice cream mode. Pour the chilled mixture into the Gelato Expert.
5When the light flashes, your sorbet is ready. Serve your sorbet immediately or store it in the freezer.

As a grapefruit fan I was looking forward to it. However it turned out far too sweet. Think the sugar could be halved.
