I seem to have been on a mango kick this past week, but that's fine with me ~ This sorbet is a GREAT TASTING SUMMER DESSERT, & well worth making again & again! I had a very sweet honeydew that I used for this recipe & that, along with the mango & orange, made for a wonderful dessert! Thanks for this keeper!
