GLAZED MANGO WITH SOUR CREAM SORBET AND BLACK PEPPER

Steps:

• Peel mangoes. Cut in thirds horizontally, leaving the pit in middle section. Place each portion without pit cut-side down on a work surface, and with a large knife cut into 8 slices perpendicular to the cutting board. Gently push down on slices so they spread out and overlap slightly.
• Sliver enough mango flesh left around the pits to make 1/2 cup. Set slivers aside.
• Butter a baking sheet large enough to hold mangoes in a single layer. Heat the broiler.
• Melt remaining butter in a large nonstick skillet. Use a spatula to place each sliced mango third in the pan so they keep their shape. Cook over medium heat about 5 minutes, sprinkling with two tablespoons sugar, and basting with pan juices.
• With spatula, transfer mangoes to baking sheet, place under broiler, and broil until edges just start to color. Do not overcook. Set mangoes aside.
• Add remaining sugar to juices in skillet, and cook over medium heat until juices start to caramelize. Add lemon juice, and continue to cook, stirring, until amber colored. Season lightly with pepper. Spoon on mangoes.
• Place a sliced caramelized mango third in each of 4 shallow soup plates. Spoon passion fruit sauce around each, and scatter raw mango slivers around. Top each with a large oval scoop of sour cream sorbet, sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon coarse pepper on top and serve at once.

MANGO LIME SORBET

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup water and sugar in a small saucepan and stir. Bring to a simmer and simmer until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat.
• Combine all ingredients in a blender and purée until completely smooth. Transfer to a bowl or container and chill overnight in refrigerator.
• (Chill a 1-quart container in the freezer while you spin the sorbet.) Remove bowl from refrigerator and blend the mango purée again for 1 to 2 minutes in a blender or with an immersion blender. Add to ice cream maker and spin for about 25 minutes. Transfer to chilled container and freeze for 2 hours or longer to pack.
• Once frozen solid, allow to soften in refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.

MANGO SORBETS

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap.
• Wash and dry mangoes. Using a sharp knife, remove the 2 flat sides of each mango, cutting lengthwise alongside pit and cutting as close to pit as possible so that mango flesh is in 2 large pieces. With a spoon carefully scoop flesh from mango sides into a blender, leaving shells intact. With a knife cut remaining flesh from pit and add to blender. Add syrup and lime juice to blender and purée until smooth. Put mango shells on baking sheet and freeze while making sorbet.
• Freeze mango purée in an ice-cream maker. Scoop sorbet into frozen shells, mounding slightly, and smooth surfaces. Freeze filled mango 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.
