YASMIN'S MANGO SORBET

"In this sorbet, the aroma of the peel is brought out with the addition of a soupçon, literally a "suspicion", of clove powder."



MANGO SORBET


3 cups of mango puree
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon lime juice
1/4 cup of a good quality rum (I use Venezuelan Rum...you can use your favorite one)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground cloves
Combine water, sugar and lime juice in saucepan over low heat. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved -- Bring it to a simmer. Remove from the heat. What you have now is nothing more than a Simple Syrup (in this case with a little touch of lime juice) and it can be use as your sweetener base for any other fruit sorbet. Mix Mango puree, Simple Syrup,rum and spices. Pour into sorbet freezer. Set timer to 15 minutes, or follow the freezer directions.
