Ingredients
  

Sorbet Base
  • 3 cups ripe mango chunks fresh or frozen
  • 2 cups strawberries freshly hulled or frozen
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar or agave nectar
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 2 tbsp lemon or lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt

Equipment

  • Blender or Food Processor
  • Ice Cream Maker (Optional)
  • Small Saucepan
  • Airtight freezer container

Method
 

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves to create a simple syrup. Let cool completely.
  2. Place the mango chunks, strawberries, cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, and sea salt into a high-speed blender or food processor.
  3. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth and puréed.
  4. Optional: Pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove strawberry seeds and mango fibers for an ultra-smooth texture.
  5. Cover the purée and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until thoroughly chilled.
  6. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's directions (usually 20-25 minutes).
  7. Transfer the churned sorbet to an airtight container. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and freeze for 3-4 hours until firm.
  8. If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the blended mixture into a shallow dish, freeze, and vigorously scrape with a fork every 45 minutes until frozen and fluffy.
  9. Let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping. Serve garnished with fresh fruit.

Notes

For a softer scoop straight out of the freezer, add 1 tablespoon of vodka or rum to the fruit mixture before blending. The alcohol prevents it from freezing rock solid.
