Mango Sorbet

Ingredients:

2-3 large, ripe mangoes (about 2 1/2 pounds)
2/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup water
1-2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (to taste)
1-2 tablespoons dark rum (to taste)

Directions:
 
Peel the mangoes and remove the flesh from the pit. Chop the mango flesh into large chunks and place it in a blender along with the rest of the ingredients. Squeeze the mango pits and skins over the blender to extract as much juice as possible. Puree the mixture until it is smooth. Taste, and add more lime juice or rum, if needed. Chill the mixture in the fridge for a couple of hours before processing in your ice cream maker according to instructions.

If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can turn these into ice pops.
