    Mango Sorbet

    Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

    Mango Sorbet is a delicious and refreshing way to use up sweet summer mangoes!

    Although I don’t happen to have a green thumb, there are a few things that survive in my garden. One of them happens to be my gorgeous mango tree. It came with the house. I had nothing to do with it becoming the generous and glorious fruit-bearing tree that it is.

    Nonetheless, it has survived since we became the owners of it. That in itself is something to say, right? Like possibly I have a green pinky? And our basil is really lovely. So is my rosemary and oregano. So all hope isn’t lost for my future in becoming an organic gardener after I write my first book and open a cake shop.
    I’m content and thrilled with my green pinky. How’s them apples?

    Where did that phrase come from anyway?

    This is what I’ve found on my lawn every day since we’ve come home. Thank you, beautiful mango tree.

    You may be wondering how I looked this summer in Italy. That is me. That is basically what I wore every day. I do the same thing we go every year. I over pack and then I wear the same outfit over again. You think I’d be smart enough to leave more room for the cookies I bring back.

    We were at a grigliata. One of a few we attended while in Italy. A grigliata is basically a barbecue. A barbecue with lots of meats. But first there is lasagne or some some other pasta dish and other appetizers. And they don’t use sauces like we do here in the States. They use olive oil with herbs and salt on the meats. I can assure you it is delicious. Simple and delicious.

    My son (almost 5) took this shot of us eating.

    It’s quite a large family. We were at cousin Caterina’s house that Saturday. There were lots of new kitties in the yard for the kids to play with when we finished eating.

    Here is one of the new kitties. My daughter took this photo. Pretty cute kitty.

    I have 1000’s of photos of Italy to sort through and promise to put them together in posts in the next few weeks. And now this is where we will spend five minutes every day until we start melting from the intense heat.

    Summer is too short. I’m really grumpy most of the year. But summer is when I’m really, REALLY happy.

    What season makes you HAPPY?

    Ingredients

    • 15 mangoes
    • 2 cups of sugar syrup boil one cup of water with sugar until the egg dissolves. chill before using
    • 1 egg white
    • 7 Key limes or regular limes

    Instructions

    • Clean the mangoes and blend them in the blender.
    • I had to process the mangoes in two portions. I divided 1/2 the syrup to the first batch and then 1/2 to the second batch in the blender.
    • Add the egg white and the lime juice and blend together. Add the mangoes to your ice cream maker and make according to your machines directions.
    • This yielded two containers of mango sorbet. My ice-cream maker came with two and I filled both.

      I started swooning when I read you had your own mango tree. I swear, if I ever get rich I'm going to sit in the bathtub and eat mangos until I've had my fill. Ahhh mangos.

      Your sorbet looks fantastic!

      I really want to take a moment and thank you for my surprise in the mail. Receiving the postcard from Italy made me extremely giddy. It is hanging on the fridge with no plans for it to ever come down. Haha! That really made my day. Thank you again. It was truly appreciated. I can't wait to see more pictures from the trip. That mango sorbet looks so delicious and I'm envious of your tree. I really need to think about moving into a house soon so I can have a beautiful garden. Sigh.

      You added 15 mangoes for this sorbet? Wow, great thing you have a mango tree in your yard (I do too, isn't it great?). Love your pictures of Italy and the family and adorable kitty. Hope you're having the loveliest time over there, Lora!

      Wow I would die to have a mango tree in my backyard. You are so lucky. Fifteen mangoes for the sorbet sounds like it will have an incredible flavor. Try adding some of the zest from the lime as well. You'll be surprised how it kicks up the flavor and adds a new dimension. I wish I had a mango tree!
