So I’ve read that my #2 all time favorite band has come to an end and Detective Stabler is leaving “Law & Order: SVU”, not to mention they’re adding Jennifer Love Hewitt to the cast (the show will be dead to me then) – all that on the same day. Poor me. :(
After such bad news one really needs something sweet to lighten up their day; even better if it’s a dessert with a minimum amount of guilt. :)
Papaya-lime sorbet
from the fantastic ice cream bible The Perfect Scoop
1 kg (2 pounds) papayas
2/3 cup (133g) superfine sugar*
¼ cup (60ml) water
¼ cup (60ml) freshly squeezed lime juice
pinch of salt
Cut the papayas in half and remove the seeds with a spoon. Still with a spoon, remove the flesh and place into a blender. Add the sugar, water, lime juice and salt and blend until a smooth purée forms. Chill the mixture thoroughly then freeze it in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Transfer to an airtight container and freeze.
* the papayas I used were very sweet, so I used only ½ cup (100g) sugar; use less than the amount required and adjust according to the sweetness of the fruit
Makes about 1 liter (1 quart)

That's crazy about Jennifer Love Hewitt, I really can't see her on that show!! Weird. Anyway, this sorbet looks so yummy - I love papaya. What great color! :)
This gorgeous sorbet is the perfect way to perk up your disappointment. Wow.
There goes my favorite show. It just won't have the same atmosphere without Detective Stabler, but Jennifer Love-Hewitt? What are they thinking.
The papaya sorbet sounds wonderful. I am thinking of trying a similar thing with mangoes and serving both for a luncheon. Thanks for the recipe and hope that your day gets better.
lovely way to have papaya
love papaya smoothie I haven't added lime juice before
This would definitely brighten my day! The flavor sounds fantastic, and I love the color.
Oh no!!! Silverchair!
Sadness! I had no idea he was leaving the show...loved the episode w/JLH but really can't see her as a main character=( Also learned that Lisa Edelstein is leaving House from same article. Glad I don't have cable anymore! Definitly time to get out the ice cream maker.
I just can't keep up with all the yummy stuffs you make, before I can decide on one cake you come up with another! How do you do it. My boys would surely love to be your neighbour.
I've never had papaya sorbet, looks sensational. I suppose thats the beauty of making your own
Sorry about your bad day. If one of my favorite bands broke up, I'd be devastated. I'm glad the papaya sorbet was some consolation.
Beautiful photo! That sorbet looks good.
Ugh, I've seen that episode with Love Hewitt - it was creepy. They're making her a detective now? I see SVU rating declining in the future :).
awe, bad days are always better when you treat yourself to something sweet! I bet the fresh taste and lovely color of this brightened your day. :)
A fabulous combo! That sorbet must taste heavenly.
Cheers,
Rosa
