Tropical Fruit Sorbet

Name: Tropical Fruit Sorbet
Yield: makes about 1 quart (1 liter)
Ingredients: 2 medium-sized ripe bananas, peeled; 1/2 pineapple, peeled and cored (2 cups, 500 ml purée); 3/4 cup (180 ml) freshly squeezed tangerine or orange juice (from about 4 to 6 tangerines or oranges); 1/4 cup (60 ml) passion fruit juice or pulp (or substitute tangerine juice); 1 cup (200 g) sugar; 4 teaspoons dark rum; 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice

If you don’t have fresh passion fruit or pulp, make do by adding more tangerine juice. But I do advise looking around for it (see Resources, page 237), since its unmistakable flavor gives this sorbet an authentic taste of the tropics.
