  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).

  Really enjoyable after a hefty meal such as Christmas Dinner! I added some torn mint which set if off really well, and made it look lovely. Possibly a wee bit too sweet for my tastes, so next time (and yes there will be one!) maybe add extra lime juice. Great recipe

  I put it in the freezer and mixed it about a couple of times. Fetched it out a half hour before needed and it was great. Added in some Creme fraiche during the processing stage as an experiment. Naughty I know, but really nice!! Held together well. Great after a curry.

  Great favour, but the texture is very icy. It is far too hard too, unlike shop-bought sorbets that are lovely and soft.

  I didn't have any mango so just made this with pineapple. Next time I would sieve the pineapple puree first as there were a few tough bits, but aside from that this was really refreshing and tasty. Will definitely make again for a nice summer pud or a refreshing end to a spicy meal.

  Wonderful recipe, everyone agreed that the flavours were good and had no problem with tough bits of pineapple, but then I do own a pineapple peeler/corer. If I make it again I might whip an egg white (not too stiff) and fold in before the mixture has frozen solid ,as I usually do when making blackcurrant sorbet.

  Absolutely delicious! I made this for a dinner party and it went down a treat. I used a blender rather than a food processor, and didn't find it at all pulpy. Served the sorbet alongside some (shop bought) lemon zest biscuits, which brought out a bit more zing.
