Mango Sherbet With Tropical Fruit Macedoine Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Place frozen mango chunks in a food processor; let stand 5 minutes to thaw slightly. Add maple syrup, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon water. Process, scraping down sides, until smooth and thick (if too thick, add up to 1 tablespoon additional water), about 2 minutes.
• Pack into a resealable container and freeze until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Make sure your ice cream maker's freezer bowl is frozen solid (you don't want to hear even the slightest sloshing noise when shaken). Keep in the freezer until absolutely ready to pour mixture into the machine.
• Into a 5-quart capacity food processor, using the chopping blade (or blender), place all ingredients. Puree until smooth.
• Place mixture into the freezer tub of your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions for freezing. It took only 15 minutes for my machine to churn and freeze.
• With a spatula, turn sorbet into a freezer container. Freeze for 2-4 hours or until desired texture.
