Banana/Lime/Rum Sorbet

A further entry in the sorbet chronicles. The limes and rum were from Tammy and Luis, thanks guys. Nothing really new to report except I used the stick blender on it to soften it up. It helps the texture a ton. 

Took it over to a going away dinner for Carl at R/S/L's house. Lamb kebabs, chard, rice. Louis was super cute. His first reaction to the sorbet was 'Whoa.' Closely followed by eating it so fast he gave himself an ice cream headache. Closely followed by 'more, please.'  

Recipe:
1 c sugar
1 c water
4 very ripe bananas, mashed
zest from alot of limes
1/2 c. lime juice
pinch salt
2T rum
Boil water with sugar and zest. Cool.
Add mashed bananas, lime juice, salt.
Freeze, stir, freeze overnight.
The next morning add the rum and use a stick blender on it. The texture/color turns from a yellowish solid with banana chunks to a lovely creamy cream colour.
