Method

  1. 1

    Zest. Finely grate the zest of two tangerines into the small pan.

  2. 2

    Juice. Squeeze all the tangerines, picking out the pips, to make about 360 ml.

  3. 3

    Warm. Add the juice, sugar, corn syrup and salt to the zest and warm just to body temperature, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved.

  4. 4

    Chill. Refrigerate until cold, at least 2 h, then strain out the zest.

  5. 5

    Churn. Pour the juice into the machine with the cold cream and churn for 20-25 min until creamy.

  6. 6

    Freeze. Freeze for 1 h before serving; small spoons make it last longer.

Storage

Keep covered with baking paper on the surface in the freezer for up to 1 week. Soften for 5-10 min before scooping.

EU nutrition claims

  • Low salt: 0.25 g salt per 100 g (limit ≤ 0.3 g)

Per 100 g of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 158 g a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
