Mango-Honey-Mint Sorbet
by Ronne Day
Here, honey replaces the sugar syrup that usually sweetens sorbet, lending it a deeper flavor. Be sure to purée the sorbet mixture until completely smooth for the best texture.
Serves 8
1 or 2 large oranges, zest finely grated to yield 1/2 tsp. and squeezed to yield 1/2 cup juice
4 cups chopped, peeled, very ripe mango (from about 3 large)
1/2 cup mild honey (like clover)
2 tsp. chopped fresh mint
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
Combine all of the ingredients with 1/2 cup water in a blender and purée until completely smooth. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container and freeze for a firmer texture.
Make Ahead Tips
The sorbet will keep in the freezer for up to 1 month. If the texture becomes icy, melt the sorbet and refreeze it in the ice cream maker.
