Papaya Sorbet

I miss papaya from the time that I spent in Thailand. I could get it fresh on the street at just about any time. So when I found that I could buy a bag of frozen papaya at my local Safeway, I decided to see if I could make a sorbet with it.

The flavor isn't strong, but enjoyable!

Ingredients

• 1 bag (~12 Oz) of frozen papaya, thawed
• 1/4 cup lemon juice (1 - 2 lemons)
• 1/4 cup cane sugar
• 1/4 cup water

Instructions

1. Thaw the papaya
• You don't want it warm, just not frozen
2. Blend the papaya so it isn't chunky
• It doesn't need to be smooth; just not large chunks
3. Prepare the lemon juice
1. Cut the lemons
2. Squeeze the juice out of the lemons
3. Scrape out the lemon pulp if you like
4. Blend the lemon juice and pulp
4. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1.25 to 1.5 cups papaya puree (from step 1), 1/4 cup cane sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice (from step 3), and 1/4 cup water.
5. Stir the mixture until smooth
6. Pour the mixture into a CREAMi pint (up to the "max fill" line)
7. Freeze for 24 hours
8. Spin as "sorbet"
9. Serve and enjoy!
