  Excellent my husband loves this. We buy the mango's when on offer and make a large batch, although as we have at least two sorbet's a week they do not last very long.

  This was delicous! I bought the mangos reduced for quick sale and used a container of fresh ready prepared pineapple as I can't stand the mess chopping up a whole pineapple makes. Even though I sieved the sorbet it was still very pulpy but none the less fabulous.

  I churned the mixture in an ice cream machine for 20mins before putting it in the freezer and it came out beautifully. I will definately be making this again in summer!

  I also churned this in my ice-cream machine thinking it would make it smoother but as it started out pulpy the finished result wasn't smooth. Also once it had been in the freezer for a while the sorbet falls apart when scooped (because of the pulp??). Any ideas anyone? Have to say though, it still tastes lovely (just looks more like a granita in the bowl).
