By [e-mail]

Ingredients

• Jeni's Influenza Rx Sorbet (makes a generous 1 quart):
• 2 cups fresh orange juice (from 5 to 6 oranges)
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from about 2 lemons)
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger
• One 3-ounce packet liquid pectin
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
• 2 to 4 tablespoons Maker's Mark bourbon (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

COOK
Combine the orange and lemon juices, sugar, honey, and ginger in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat.
CHILL
Add the pectin, cayenne, and bourbon, if using. Pour into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until cold.
FREEZE
Freeze the sorbet just until it is the consistency of very softly whipped cream. (You can eat it now, if you wish; otherwise, proceed as directed.)
Pack the sorbet into a storage container, press a sheet of parchment directly against the surface, and seal with an airtight lid. Freeze in the coldest part of your freezer until firm, at least 4 hours.
