Fruit And Herb Sorbets 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:

• In a saucepan, combine sugar, lemon zest, salt, 1 cup fruit juice of choice, and herb of choice. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep 5 minutes. Strain into a heatproof container, discarding zest and herbs, and stir in lemon juice and remaining 2 cups fruit juice.
• Process in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. When it has the texture of soft-serve, transfer sorbet to a chilled loaf pan or other freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Place in an ice cream maker and freeze according to instructions.
