Mango Sorbet

Mangoes

Summer is my favorite season. Mangoes top the list of my all-time favorite fruits. But even with things I love, I can find the negatives. Summer can be too hot and itchy with mosquitoes. I got 3 new bites today which brings the tally up to 7 bites in 2 days. Not good. With mangoes, it's the stringy fibers that get caught in your teeth. Sometimes I wonder if I'm THAT person who views everything as glass half empty versus glass half full. I really do try to see the positive even in bad situations. Maybe I just need to be more religious about bug spray and carry around floss while enjoying my summer mango. Let's all cleanse our palates with this refreshing sorbet. Make way for all, the good and bad, that is yet to come.

Blend mangoes with simple syrup and lime juice
