Method

Preparation of Sorbetto

Prepare the Fruit

Wash and chop the fresh fruit into small pieces. If using citrus, make sure to remove seeds.

Blend and Strain

In a blender, combine the chopped fruit, sugar, water, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp if desired.

Chill the Mixture

Pour the mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until well chilled.

Freeze the Sorbet

Transfer the chilled mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until fully frozen and fluffy.

Preparation of Fruit Shell

Prepare the Fruit Shells

Cut the large fruit in half and carefully scoop out the flesh to create a shell, leaving enough fruit to enjoy separately.

Serving

Assemble and Serve

Scoop the prepared sorbet into the fruit shells and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
