Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 5 pieces Blood Oranges To yield 1 cup of juice and zest.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 piece Vanilla Bean Split lengthwise.
  • 2 cups Buttermilk

Instructions

  • Step 1: Wash the blood oranges thoroughly. Zest two of the oranges and set the zest aside.
  • Step 2: Cut the blood oranges in half and juice them until you have 1 cup of fresh juice. Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve.
  • Step 3: In a medium saucepan, combine the blood orange juice, zest, and granulated sugar. Scrape the seeds from the split vanilla bean into the mixture and add the bean itself. Cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Step 4: Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
  • Step 5: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled mixture with buttermilk and stir gently until fully incorporated.
  • Step 6: Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft texture. For a firmer consistency, freeze for an additional 2-4 hours.
