CACTUS FIG AND LIME SORBET



Cactus Fig and Lime Sorbet image

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.

Time 5h55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cactus figs
1 cup water
½ cup white granulated sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

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.
