Mango Sorbet





Mangooooo!  We love mangos!  One of the great things about summer is all of the fresh fruits and veggies that are in season.  Right now is the perfect time to buy a ton of ripe mangos.  Mango sorbet is so easy to make and very refreshing.   You could also add pineapple or strawberries for some variation. 


Ingredients:
5-6 VERY ripe mangos - peeled, seeded, and cubed
1 1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Make the simple syrup: In a medium saucepan boil water and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.  Set aside to cool thoroughly.  

Prepare the mango puree: 
Place cubed mango in a food processor, and puree until it is really smooth.  If  you are going to add any other ingredients like pineapple or strawberries puree them separately and then strain through a fine mesh strainer.
  

Pour in simple syrup mixture and lime juice and mix well.


Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker.  I have the Cuisinart frozen yogurt, ice cream and sorbet maker.  Its awesome.  It should take about 20-30 minutes to freeze.  


 Serve it plain, with a raspberry syrup or some shaved chocolate.  Yum!
