Blood Orange Vanilla Sorbet

This might turn out as an actual sorbet, or it might turn out as a granita. It's hard to predict, as it will really depend on how sweet your oranges are. Although, to be on the safe side, you can add more sugar syrup, as that will make it freeze softer. I didn't want this to be very sweet, so I was fine with an icier texture - I served it as part of our huge 13-course meal and it was the perfect palate cleanser.
