Recipe: Mango Sorbet (blender or food processor)

MANGO SORBET

1 1/4 cups water
3/4 cup sugar
2 pounds mangos (2 or 3 whole mangos)
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice

In a small saucepan, combine the water and sugar, bring to a boil, and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, pour into a container, and chill for 1 1/2 hours.

Peel the mangos, remove flesh from pits, and cut into large chunks. Place in the bowl of a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Transfer to a container and chill for 1 hour.

Combine the sugar syrup, mango puree, and lime and lemon juice in a blender or food processor and process until well mixed.

Transfer to an ice cream maker and process according to the manufacturer's directions.

TO FREEZE WITHOUT AN ICE CREAM MAKER:
Pour the mango mixture into a wide container and place in freezer. When frozen, puree again until smooth and light in a blender or food processor or beat with an electric or hand rotary beater. Pack in a container and return to freezer. Soften slightly to serve.
