CACTUS FIG AND LIME SORBET
The fruit of the prickly pear cactus (often called 'cactus fig' or 'tuna,') is sweet and juicy. Coupled with lime and frozen, it makes a light, refreshing summer treat. You can find cactus fig at any Mexican grocery and at some gourmet markets.

Steps:
- Remove the outer skin of the cactus figs to expose the light green flesh. Push the flesh through a mesh sieve into a bowl, collecting the juice and trapping the seeds and pulp.
- Combine water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; allow to cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
- Stir cactus juice and lime juice into the sugar water. Mix thoroughly; chill for 1 hour.
- Pour cactus-lime mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

- Note: Before freezing the puree, adjust the flavor with sugar and cranberry juice, to taste. Freeze puree in an ice cream maker and you're ready to scoop.
- Garnish with fresh mint.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap. Wearing rubber gloves, wash cactus pears and with paper towels rub off any prickly fuzz left on skin. Halve cactus pears lengthwise and with a spoon carefully scoop flesh with seeds into a blender, leaving thick shells intact. Add syrup and lime juice to blender and purée until smooth. Pour cactus-pear purée through a fine sieve into a bowl and discard seeds. Put cactus shells on baking sheet and freeze while making sorbet.
- Freeze purée in an ice-cream maker. Scoop sorbet into frozen shells, smoothing surfaces so they are level. Freeze filled cactus shells at least 6 hours, or until frozen hard. Frozen sorbets in shells may be wrapped individually in plastic wrap and kept in freezer 1 week.
LIME SORBET
Lime oil has a bit of natural sweetness in it; that's why a teaspoon of fresh lime zest is used in this sorbet recipe. Try this for a light dessert or palate cleanser between courses.

- Peel cactus pears. If using plums, peel and remove pits. Place prepared cactus pears or plums in a food processor bowl or blender container. Cover and process or blend until smooth. Press cactus pear mixture through a sieve, reserving pulp and juice; discard seeds. If using plums, do not sieve. (You should have about 1 cup cactus pear or plum puree.)
- In a medium saucepan combine cactus pear pulp and juice or plum puree with 3/4 cup of the strawberries, cut-up plums, sugar, and water. Bring just to boiling, stirring often.
- Reduce heat. Cook fruit mixture, uncovered, on low heat for 30 to 45 minutes or until liquid is reduced by about one-fourth, adding the black pepper during the last 5 minutes of cooking, if desired.
- Refrigerate mixture for 1 hour or until chilled. Turn mixture into a 9x9x2-inch pan. Cover and freeze until firm. Break frozen mixture into chunks; turn into a chilled mixing bowl. Beat mixture with an electric mixer on low speed until slightly slushy, then on medium-high speed until smooth.
