Easy and sweet solution for over-ripe fruit!

Fresh fruit abounds during the summer!! It looks so beautiful and smells so sweet. A bowl of fresh fruit always makes me smile. Unfortunately, it also seems that I buy more than I can eat. This week, I ended up with an over-ripe peach and mango in the fruit bowl. I needed to find a way to use this fruit before it morphed from over-ripe to rotten. (You don’t want to cross that line!) Turning on the oven just seems wrong when it’ hot enough to cook on the sidewalk. I wanted to make something that was quick, easy, and cold! Hello, sorbet!

3 ingredients and no cooking required!

Honestly, fresh fruit sorbet is probably the easiest and most refreshing summertime recipe! This Mango-Peach Sorbet takes only three ingredients! A mango, a peach, and a teaspoon of lemon or lime juice. That’s it!!! No sweetener is necessary. Of course, you can add a little honey, sugar, or sweetener if needed, but most peaches and mangos are naturally sweet enough all on their own. This recipe is dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan. It’s hard to get any healthier! Unfortunately for my keto friends, mangos are high in carbs, so this is not a keto-friendly sorbet. On the other hand, peaches are considered keto-friendly, so if you forego the mango and use another peach, you will be in carb compliance.

Over-ripe fruit is messy – it’s okay!

This recipe couldn’t be any easier. The mango and peach need to be sliced or chopped up, discarding the pits. There are no extra points given for technique or “pretty” slices. Make as big of a mess out of it as you want! I did. As I mentioned, my fruit was just slightly over-ripe, so it was very soft and squishy. It did not slice nicely, and I was very grateful that it didn’t matter.

Place the chopped-up fruit into a ziplock plastic bag and put it in the freezer. It will take a good 3-4 hours to freeze. I usually leave it overnight or longer. Fresh fruit can be frozen for up to nine months.

Chop and freeze

When you are ready to rock & roll, remove the fruit from the freezer and let it sit out for a few minutes to thaw just enough so that it can be broken into chunks. The frozen chunks go into a food processor or a heavy-duty blender. I’ve used both and don’t have a preference. Both appliances work equally well. Add a teaspoon of either lime or lemon juice to the fruit. Freshly squeezed juice will always taste better, but bottled juice will work just fine if you’re not up to squeezing a lemon or lime. No judging here — it’s too hot.

The food processor does all the work

Start by using the pulse feature on your food processor or blender until the mixture resembles small pebbles. If necessary, use a spatula to move the mixture around. A little warm water may be required to get things started. I don’t usually need it, but if your blender or processor stalls out, add a tablespoon of water at a time until the mixture loosens up. Switch the setting to a constant whirl until the mixture is smooth.

I think the sorbet tastes the best when served immediately! It is so soft and creamy; no one will believe it’s dairy-free! The sorbet can be scooped into a freezer-safe container and enjoyed at a later time.
