Mango Madness

One of the perks of living in Florida is all of the lovely (and reasonably priced) tropical fruits. This past week our local grocery store had mangoes on sale. I bought ten and brought them home. After having them as snacks and packing some in a picnic beach lunch, I still had so many left over.

What to do except the obvious: make sorbet!

Mango Sorbet

Allow the mixture to cool down slightly.
Blend in a blender, in small batches, until smooth.

Refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
Turn in an ice cream machine until frozen and delicious.
