Equipment

  • Ice cream maker

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Blood orange juice (freshly squeezed - this was about 8 blood oranges for me)
  • 1 cup Blood orange liqueur
  • 2 tsp Blood orange zest (from the oranges you'll be juicing)
  • 1 1/2 cup Water
  • 1 1/2 cup Sugar

Instructions

  • Zest and then juice the blood oranges. Strain the juice and set to the side.
  • Make a simple syrup using 1 1/2 cups water and 1 1/2 cups sugar. To do this, put both ingredients in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar has all dissolved.
  • Combine the zest, blood orange juice, blood orange liqueur, and 1 1/4 cups simple syrup in an airtight container and refrigerate overnight. You'll also want to freeze the bowl or your ice cream maker overnight.
  • The next day, attach the ice cream maker to your mixer (or do whatever setup your ice cream maker requires) and pour the refrigerated liquid into the frozen bowl. Set to stir for 12-18 minutes or until it reaches the desired consistency and then transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least a few hours (or overnight) before serving.
