Valentine’s Day is usually not my thing and I don’t really care for it. This year though, every little holidays or even commercial ones sound amazing. Being stuck at home, I want to take every opportunity to do something different and fun.

This pink sorbet can’t be more suitable for Valentine’s Day. The natural red color from the blood oranges make a beautiful pinkish color after churning. It’s little sweet yet a bit tart at the same time. There is the hint of floral flavor and slight bitterness from the blood oranges as well.

The secret of making this sorbet good is light corn syrup. Light corn syrup helps to reduce crystallization, so this sorbet is a much smoother and creamier compare to ones made with regular sugar syrup.

This sorbet can’t be any easier. Whisk everything together. Chill for a couple hours, then churn in the ice cream machine. No cooking is needed. When it’s done, transfer to an airtight container and smooth it out. Cover with a piece of wax paper. That will help to prevent freezer burn. Freeze for a few hours for it to harden completely. Scoop and serve!

Hope you guys like this. Next week, I’m going to share a cocktail recipe using this sorbet. ?

Servings 1 quart
Author Lokness

Ingredients

  • ½ tablespoon zest of blood orange (about 1 blood orange)
  • 1 cup fresh blood orange juice (about 5 – 6 blood oranges)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about ½ lemon)
  • 1½ cups cold drinking water (best to use filtered or distilled bottled water)
  • 1¾ cups light corn syrup
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Strain the juices to a large mixing bowl to remove pulps and seeds. Whisk the rest of the ingredients into the juices until everything is combined. Cover with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge until cold, about 1 – 2 hours.
  • When the mixture is cold, pour into the ice cream machine and follow the machine instruction. Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container. Smooth it out with a spatula. Place a piece of wax paper on the sorbet and pat it down to the surface. Freeze until firm, at least 3 hours.
  • Let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a couple minutes before scooping. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  1. Can you use other oranges? Yes, but you may have to reduce the amount of corn syrup. It all depends on how sweet your oranges are. Start with half the corn syrup. Taste and add more if needed. Keep in mind that your liquid needs to be a bit sweeter than you like, because it will taste less sweet once it’s churned and frozen.
  2. To reduce chilling time in the fridge, use cold oranges and lemons.
  3. Light corn syrup gives the sorbet body and reduce ice crystals. Do not substitute.

Pausing your Thanksgiving feed for a moment, I’m Pausing your Thanksgiving feed for a moment, I’m sharing this new recipe, My Favorite Bolognese. Comfort food is exactly what we need this time of the year. This bolognese is umami & very flavorful but not too heavy. Most importantly, part of the cooking happens in the oven, so you can walk away & relax! I’ve made this a few times in the past couple months, & has become one of my go-to recipes. Hope you guys will like it too!

Walked a little part of the 110 freeway this morni Walked a little part of the 110 freeway this morning during #ArroyoFest. We did 3 miles total. Last time, the freeway was closed for bikes & pedestrians was 20 years ago! 🛣️
Mini Black Chocolate Bundt Cakes w/ Chocolate Gana Mini Black Chocolate Bundt Cakes w/ Chocolate Ganache. These little cuties are super moist & chocolatey. The best part is you don’t need a mixer to make these cakes. Just stir and mix! I used black cocoa powder in the batter to give that extra dark color. Btw, aren’t those little spider sprinkles adorable?

The food in Granville Island (@granville_island), The food in Granville Island (@granville_island), Vancouver was absolutely fantastic! We ate from one stall to another. We originally planned to be there for an hour or so, but we ended up eating & wandering around for 3 1/2 hours. It was so much fun! 

Here are the food we tried & love: 
1) Breakfast Bagel (Siegel’s Bagels @siegelsbagels) - Love the smoked meat w/ cheddar & cream cheese. Really great bagel sandwich! 
2) Honey Dip Yeast Donut (Lee’s Donuts @leesdonuts.ca) - Donut was super light & fluffy. The honey flavor was very mild, but the crunchy glaze was excellent. 
3) Salted Caramel Canelés (La Bise Bakery @labisebakery) - Crispy outside & custardy center! Delicious!
4) Crispy Thai Garlic Chicken Wings (Sen Pad Thai @senpadthai) - Hot, crispy & flavorful. The tamarind dipping sauce was a must! 
5) Nutzo Puffcream (Popina Canteen @popinacanteen) - Fun & cute dessert w/ many different topping combo.

This Vancouver trip, we spent most of our time in This Vancouver trip, we spent most of our time in Richmond, British Colombia. It’s the city where the airport is located & right next to Vancouver. There is a huge Chinese community, so there’re many traditional Chinese food. One of the most memorable for me has to be this char siu & roasted duck w/ rice. Char siu had the perfect balance of meat & fat. I also got the soup of the day. It was very comforting & I finished the whole bowl. The atmosphere, the people & the food reminded me of Hong Kong. I’ll definitely come back next time! 

Tips: Many restaurants & food stalls in Richmond only take cash.
