Ruby Grapefruit Today!
We're excited to finally get back into harvesting citrus! This week's CSA boxes all have the delicious Ruby Grapefruit. They make a great juice, a tangy marmalade, and a tasty sorbet, and their skins can be candied. Grapefruit/Strawberry Sorbet This is a super simple deal. I did a book signing/cooking class at Sur La Table a few years ago, and this cooking store has an amazing little ice cream maker that is worth taking a look at. What I thought was cool about it, besides the cheap price, is that is doesn't require salt and is so quiet you can have it going while you and your guests enjoy your main course. How many times have I had to haul my stupid Wal-Mart ice cream maker into the barn so I didn't have to listen to it while I enjoyed my meal? Here's the solution to that! This one is quite an improvement, for around $50. http://www.surlatable.com/product/PRO-724435/Cuisinart-Classic-Frozen-Yogurt-Ice-Cream-and-Sorbet-Maker-Lemon Ingredients: * 3 cups ...

Here's another super simple recipe with impressive results! To get the full affect, I admit you need the little squirt attachment so that you can have the swirled look in the photo. I found mine at Michael's. Recipe and directions
