I N G R E D I E N T S
Combine sugar, preserves and 1 cup of the soda
in a medium saucepan and stir over low heat until sugar and preserves are melted. Add
citrus juice and zest. Stir in the remaining soda, move to a clean, lidded container and
chill thoroughly, 2 to 3 hours.
Turn mixture in ice cream maker per maker's
instructions or until mixture reaches the consistency of a firm slush. Return mixture to
lidded container and harden in freezer 1 hour before serving.
If sorbet is to be held frozen for longer
than 2 hours, move from freezer to refrigerator for about half an hour before serving. If
you'd like a more assertive sorbet, double the amount of citrus zest.
