Recipe: Sweet Rose Creamery’s Oro Blanco Mint Sorbet

This Saturday on Good Food, Laura Avery talks to Shiho Yoshikawa about her seasonal ice cream and sorbet flavors at Sweet Rose Creamery in the Brentwood Country Mart. Right now Shiho is using a lot of citrus in her scoops, including this recipe for Oro Blanco Mint Sorbet. She also likes to candy the Oro Blanco peels and dip them in chocolate. She says the pith is quite bitter, so when juicing the Oro Blanco try to avoid getting any white pith in with the juice.
