Cactus Fig and Lime Sorbet Recipe

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.
