Papaya Lime Sorbet
This is a very easy sorbet to make. The lime juice is important to balance the papaya, but you can add a bit of tequila or rum to the mixture before freezing, or add a little sprinkled over the top of each serving. I like to serve it with fresh fruits. A good accompaniment is Coconut Chocolate Macaroons or Pineapple-Coconut Macaroons.

Notes
- Serving suggestions: Serve the papaya sorbet with fresh fruits or berries. Tropical fruits are particularly interesting, such as kiwi fruit, mango, or pineapple. Other options are to douse scoops with a little tequila or rum or sprinkle them lightly with red chile pepper powder.
