One of the five good things about living in Florida is living near people who have mango trees in their yards. It must be mango season, as people keep bringing them into work. I've always wanted to make sorbet or ice cream, but don't want to invest the time, effort, and space into an ice cream freezer.

So I found this recipe. It's perfect for someone like me who has a really hard time chopping mangoes. They don't have to be pretty - they're just going to be blended up. This really is just like a sorbet. It's so tangy, refreshing, and good!

3 cups coarsely chopped peeled ripe mango (about 4 mangos)
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 6 limes)
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons grated orange rind

Preparation

Combine all the ingredients in a blender or food processor, and process until smooth (the ingredients may need to be processed in 2 batches).

Press mango mixture through a fine sieve over a bowl; discard solids. Pour mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish; cover and freeze 4 hours or until firm. Place mixture in a food processor, and process until slushy. Freeze for 3 hours. Soften slightly in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
