Broiled Plums With Mango Sorbet Recipes

Steps:

• Peel the mangoes, cut the flesh from around the pit and cut into approximately 1/2-inch chunks (you should have about 4 cups). Arrange the chunks in a single layer on a baking sheet, and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Freeze the mango until hard, at least 4 hours up to overnight.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the coconut out on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until lightly golden and toasted, about 4 minutes, tossing about halfway through.
• Once the mango is completely frozen, transfer it to a food processor. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup hot water, and process the mango until completely smooth; turn the food processor off and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula as needed. The finished texture should be like creamy sorbet (a few small chunks of mango are fine). Scoop the sorbet into 4 serving glasses or bowls, squeeze a quarter of a lime over each, drizzle with honey if using and sprinkle with toasted coconut.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Toss plums with sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart (9- to 10-inch round) gratin or other flameproof shallow dish (not glass). Let plums stand 5 minutes in dish to macerate.
• Add water to dish and broil plums 6 to 8 inches from heat, gently stirring once or twice, until fruit is softened, 7 to 10 minutes. Serve fruit and juice from pan topped with sorbet.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a blender; cover and process until smooth. Serve immediately. If desired, for a firmer texture, cover and freeze at least 3 hours.

Steps:

• Coat an outdoor grill or stove-top grill pan with cooking spray and preheat to medium-high.
• In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Brush mixture all over flesh side of plums. Grill plums, flesh side down, 5 minutes, until soft. Serve plums with lemon sorbet. Garnish with candied peanuts and mint, if desired.

Steps:

• For the sorbet: Combine water, sugar and lemon juice in saucepan over low heat. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved -- DO NOT BOIL. Remove from heat. Pour Mango puree and sugar mixture into sorbet freezer. Set timer to 15 minutes, or follow the freezer directions. Batch is finished when mixture firms up and looks fluffy.
• For the figs: Place figs in saucepan and cover with port and zest from 1 lemon and simmer for 15 minutes. These can be served poached or lightly grilled.
• Peel, core, and slice pineapple. Combine orange juice and dark brown sugar in saucepan and simmer on low heat until mixture starts to thicken. Stir to avoid burning. Brush on pineapple slices and grill lightly until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes per side.
• For the banana: Cut bananas lengthwise and place in baking tray. Combine orange juice, lime juice, molasses and pinch of salt. Simmer for a few minutes. Pour mixture over bananas, covering fruit and then grill. Turn over gently about 2 minutes per side.
• For the nectarines or peaches: Pit and cut fruit in half. Lightly salt fruit if not sweet. Lightly brush olive oil and toss fruit in bowl with dark brown sugar covering all surfaces. Grill 3 to 4 minutes per side.
