Stephen Ceideburg
1 One fourth cup Sugar
4 lg Navel oranges *
3 Yellow wax hot peppers,
chopped
One fourth cup Fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoon Light corn syrup
2 tablespoon Dark rum

* not juice oranges, peeled and white pith removed

Sorbets can be served either as a dessert or as a refresher between
courses. Peppers add just a little heat to the frozen fruit juices. If your
icecream freezer holds less than 6 cups, make this in batches or halve the
recipe.

At once cold and hot, CitrusPepper Sorbet has fruity flavor with a bite.

Combine 1 One fourth cups water with sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a
boil, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and cool to
room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Meanwhile, chop the fruit, discarding any seeds. (You should have about 3
One half cups.) In a blender or food processor, Puree oranges and remaining
ingredients. Add One half cup water, blend briefly and strain through a sieve.
Refrigerate until needed.

Stir the sugar mixture into the fruit mixture. Pour the mixture into an ice
cream freezer and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.
(Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a shallow pan and freeze until
almost solid. Break into large chunks and whirl the mixture in a blender or
food processor until smooth. Transfer to a chilled airtight container and
return to the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until firm.)
