Cheeky Farang Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 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 !!!!!

suegha Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Aroy Aroy Mak Mak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popshirt Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisurely Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leisurely Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Sounds very simple, although I am not convinced it is sugar free. Maybe sugar reduced but definitely not free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suegha Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nignoy Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Sounds very simple, although I am not convinced it is sugar free. Maybe sugar reduced but definitely not freeIts a recommended recipe from Diabetes Australia, plenty more where that one came from Nignoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisurely Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinLOS Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Just asked a dumb question that I could have answered if I read the OP more carefully.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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 Using a sturdy fork, break up ice to slushy consistency.
