Tropical Sorbet

My husband and I watched an episode of "Good Eats" last night and Alton Brown was talking about the different ways that you could use melons and one way was in a sorbet. And this automatically made me want a sorbet or sherbet or really anything in that area of food!!! So today I used some frozen  tropical mixed fruits to make some sorbet. This fruit mix had pineapples, peaches, strawberries an mangoes. You could use a blender for this or for a smoother consistency your ice cream maker. So ill give you two separate directions for blender and ice cream maker. ENJOY....and Eat on!!

Ingredients 

4 cups mixture of fruits, frozen if using blender and fresh if using ice cream mixture
2/3 cup water
2/3 cup sugar
4 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Pinch of salt 

Directions

If using blender, blend the first two cups of frozen fruit and then add next two cups. Add water, sugar, lemon juice and salt. Blend until smooth consistency. Place into a container and cover with plastic wrap, making sure it's completely covered and no air can enter. Then cover with lid and freeze for 2 hours.

If using ice cream maker: peel your fruits and place all ingredients into blender and liquefy. Place liquid in a container and chill for 2-3 hours. One chilled follow your ice cream manufacture directions for sorbet. Place in container and cover with plastic wrap like above, cover with lid and freeze.
