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.

This sorbet is a great way to use up leftover cactus figs. I had a bunch of them from my garden and I didn't know what to do with them. This sorbet was the perfect solution.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The sorbet was sweet and tangy, with just the right amount of tartness from the lime. I used fresh cactus figs from my garden and they added a beautiful color and flavor to the sorbet.
