Question 1

What is the difference between tangerines, mandarins, and oranges?

Accepted Answer

Tangerines and oranges are just different varieties of the same kind of species. Tangerines are typically smaller and sweeter than oranges, which are kind of tart. The skin on tangerines is also looser, making them so much easier to peel. Tangerines are a member of the mandarin family, but the mandarin is a bit smaller and has seeds. You can get mandarins in a can any time of the season while tangerines tend to be more available in the summer.

Question 2

What kind of liquor is best to make boozy tangerine sorbet?

Accepted Answer

To make this into a boozy treat, you can add your favorite orange liqueur like Cointreau, Grand Marnier, or Triple Sec. Or you can use regular vodka or one of the flavored vodkas like orange, mint, or even chocolate. Other delicious choices include amaretto, cinnamon liquor like cinnamon schnapps, Jack Daniels honey liquor, or limoncello.

Question 3

What is the difference between sorbet, gelato, and ice cream?

Accepted Answer

With this recipe, all you are using is tangerines to make your sorbet, but some sorbet recipes call for sugar or another sweetener. Ice cream has added milk or cream, eggs, and sugar with at least 10% being cream. Gelato typically has all that, but the cream content is only around 6 to 8%. Also, gelato is thicker and denser than ice cream because it is churned slower for less air.
