2 (2¼ lb) large fresh mangoes or 18 ½ oz (520g) frozen mango
thawed
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
Instructions
1Put the sugar and water in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
2Increase the heat to medium high and bring the syrup to a simmer. Simmer for 2 minutes. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes. Transfer to a heatproof dish. Allow to cool.
3Cover and refrigerate 3 hours until cold.
4Peel the mangoes. Cut the fruit from the mango and put in a blender. Add the lime juice. Blend until smooth.
5Strain the mixture into a large bowl, pushing the mixture through the sieve. Discard the solids left in the sieve.
6Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours until cold.
7Stir the chilled syrup into the mango puree.
8Pour the chilled mixture into the ice cream bowl. Set the ice cream maker to the desired setting and churn.
9Once the sorbet is frozen, spoon or scoop into chilled bowls or glasses and serve or transfer to a freezer-safe container, just large enough to contain the sorbet. Freeze for 2-3 hours or overnight for firmer sorbet.
10Store sorbet in the freezer for up to 3 weeks. The sorbet will become very firm after freezing overnight, so remove from the freezer and stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for easier scooping.
