The lower freezing temperature of the alcohol keeps the sorbet from getting too icy.

If you don’t want to use alcohol, you might add a couple tablespoons of corn syrup.

It won’t be as effective as alcohol to prevent iciness, but it will help.

Set aside to cool.

Use a vegetable peeler to peel the outside peel of the mangoes.

Then cut the flesh away from the large flat white seed in the center of the mango.

Discard the seed and peel.

Rough chop the mango flesh.

You should have about 3 1/2 to 4 cups of chopped mango.

Put the mango pieces, simple syrup, and lime juice into a blender.

Blend until completely smooth.

Pour into a medium bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until completely chilled.

Process the mixture in your ice cream maker according to the ice cream maker directions.

Transfer mixture to a plastic storage container and freezer in your freezer until firm, at least 6 hours.
