Kiwifruit and Lime Sorbet

I have had kiwifruit arriving in my Ooooby Box each week and can't seem to manage to eat them all. I hate throwing them in the compost so decided this weekend to use lots of them up.
I used frozen kiwi fruit (that I had prepared earlier) and made the sorbet in the afternoon. I had pretty much set by evening without using an ice cream maker.
It didn't make a lot but enough for four small servings. It was a really refreshing flavour, quite sharp but really nice. A good use for extra kiwifruit.


Ingredients

  • 8 ripe kiwi fruits (I peeled and froze them in advance)
  • 2 fresh limes
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water


Directions

  1. Peel and quarter the kiwi fruit.
  2. Juice the lime.
  3. Dissolve  sugar in water.
  4. Combine the sugar water, lime juice and chopped kiwi in ablender.
  5. Puree until the mixture is very smooth.
  6. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker. (Or just into a dish in the freezer if using frozen kiwi fruit)
  7. Freeze according to the specific machine's instructions. Freezing should take about 30 minutes in a small gel canister ice cream maker.
  8. Let the sorbet harden for an additional 30 minutes in the freezer.
  9. Serve immediately.

  2. Yes, we discussed that, but the vodka would stop it freezing
