Summer Fruit with Lime Ice

Ingredients:

1 cup caster sugar
7 Limes
1/2 pineapple, peeled, cored, cut into 2cm pieces
2 small mangoes, stoned, peeled, cut into 2cm pieces
250 grams strawberries, sliced

Direction:

1. In a small saucepan, bring the sugar and 2 1/2 cups water to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Finely grate 2 tsp lime rind from 2 limes. Add lime rind to syrup. Set aside to cool completely.

2. Squeeze 3/4 cup lime juice from about 5 limes. Add to the syrup and stir to combine. Strain lime mixture through a sieve into a 20cm square baking dish. Cover and freeze for 30 mins or until the mixture is icy around the edges.

3. Using a fork, stir edges of the lime mixture into the centre. Freeze, scraping and breaking up mixture with a fork every 30mins, for 3 hours or until the mixture resembles flaky crystals. Cover and return to the freezer.

4. Finely grate 2 tsp lime rind from the 2 remaining limes into a large bowl, Add pineapple, mango and strawberry and gently fold to combine. Divide the mixture among chilled dessert glasses or small bowls. Top with lime ice and serve immediately.
