Mango Sorbet

[Cheeky Farang]

Mango Sorbet

You need:

1½ cups water

1½ cups white sugar

½ cup strained lime/lemon juice

3 large ripe mangoes

Method:

Place sugar and water in a small saucepan. Stir and bring to a boil then reduce heat, simmer 5 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature, then add ½ cup strained limejuice and refrigerate.

Peel the mangoes add the flesh and chilled syrup in a food processor and blitz until smooth. Pour into a metal pan (the larger the base the better). Freeze 1 hour.

Using a sturdy fork, break up ice to slushy consistency. (this is to stop large ice crystals forming) Repeat this step 3 times at one-hour intervals. Each time the sorbet will be firmer. After the last freeze, use an electric mixer, food processor, or whisk to get a good final texture. Pack in a storage container, cover, and freeze.

Other fruits can be used or a mix such as:-

Papaya & Mango

Pineapple & Mango

Melon & Lychee

Coconut

Orange

Strawberry

Never Tried Durian - let me know if it stills smells and tastes like death !!!!!

Wow, this sounds really good. I will try this next time I have guests.

Ps I think, by the sound of it, that any firm fruit would work well. How about banana?

Bananas work well in sorbet, but the best one I have ever made is

Pina-Calada

2 cups crushed pineapple

1/2 cup cream of coconut

1/4 cup dark rum

My favourite sorbet is green apple. They used to sell this at the Food Loft in Central Chidlom but not anymore. I will try to make it myself.

Do you think you could reduce the sugar? We have some mangos in the house at the momet that are so sweet you can virtually hear your teeth disintigrating as you eat them

Sounds very simple, although I am not convinced it is sugar free. Maybe sugar reduced but definitely not free

let me at that sorbet...I'm diabetic but don't wanna live past 60...would be a nice treat fer de nieces when dey come home from school...

[suegha]

If your fruit is really sweet you can reduce (or exclude) the sugar. For example, for banana smoothies or banana softies don't use any sugar, it's sweet enough naturally. And more tasty...

Its a recommended recipe from Diabetes Australia, plenty more where that one came from Nignoy

Just sampled it. Made the original and reduced the sugar to half a cup, although with the sweetness of the mangos I reckon I could have omitted it altogether. Will try the recipe with pineapple next. Durian will never darken my doorstep again.

me or the sugar?

[LivinLOS]

Just asked a dumb question that I could have answered if I read the OP more carefully..

[LivinLOS]

OK tried this the other day.. Went down so well my missus is insisting on me making lots more..

Really though the above was so sweet it made my teeth hurt.. If I substitute other fruits and foods will it work without the sugar / syrup ??

Just trying to understand what makes it go sorbet-like instead of ice like.. Cant just be the breaking it up process as the above recipie was making a paste type solution as it froze.

Reckon that cream coconut that comes in the cartons would be an ideal experiment.

Try Penguin ice cream, they produce fresh fruit sorbet in Thailand. Many flavors and homemade.

Sounds great, I am a diabetic but I love the big yellow mangoes which are so sweet anyway, does the sugar do anything but sweeten
