Fresh Fig and Lime Sorbet image

Use figs in season at their ripest. It is recommended to make the sugar syrup a day ahead to allow plenty of time to chill. Untried by me.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 3

3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 lbs ripe figs, stems removed, peeled if desired and cut up (any variety fig will do)
1/2 cup fresh lime juice (or more to taste)

Steps:

  • Add 2 cups water and the sugar to a saucepan.
  • Cook, stirring constantly, until the syrup boils and the sugar has dissolved; refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
  • Place the figs in the bowl of a food processor; puree.
  • Add the puree to the chilled syrup; stir in the lime juice.
  • Taste, and add more juice if desired.
  • Freeze sorbet in an ice-cream maker following the manufacturer's directions until the mixture begins to freeze.
  • Then scoop mixture into a storage container, seal tightly, and freeze for several hours or overnight.
  • **Black Mission figs give the sorbet a ruby color, speckled with black if the figs are unpeeled; Green figs will result in pale pink color speckled with green if left unpeeled.

This sorbet is a great way to use up leftover figs. I had a few ripe figs that I didn't know what to do with, so I made this sorbet and it turned out delicious.

I love how easy this sorbet is to make. I didn't have an ice cream maker, so I just used my blender and it turned out perfectly. It's also a great way to use up ripe figs when they're in season.
