Mango Gelato

Remove the stems and leaves from the mangoes, but do not peel or remove the pits

Cut the mangoes into small pieces and place them in a pot with the water

Cover and bring to a boil over high heat

Reduce heat and cook until the mangoes are very tender, about 20 minutes

Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth into a clean pot, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible

Allow the liquid to drain off, stirring the mango occasionally to allow excess liquid to escape

Use 4 cups of the liquid and mix with sugar and lime juice

Bring to a boil and cook until it reaches gelato consistency

Remove any foam from the surface and immediately pour into sterilized glass containers that are still warm

Close the containers tightly, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving

Store in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
