Orange, Mango and Lemon Myrtle Sorbet
This was demonstrated by Andrew Fielke at his TMX demo. It was generally felt that there was too much orange zest in the mix, so I have reduced it in this recipe. This could be prepared the previous day, up to the final zap.

100 g sugar,,,, zest from 1 orange and flesh from 2.
1 1/2 teaspoons of Tuckeroo Lemon Myrtle
600g frozen Mango cheeks
2 to 3 cups of ice cubes.

Process the zest with the sugar
Add orange flesh, (with seeds removed ), and lemon Myrtle
Process all for 10 sec./ speed 7.
Cook varoma/5 mins./speed 2
Allow to cool and chill in refrigerator.

When ready to serve

Place all in TMX on speed 10 for 40/60 seconds, use spatula to assist.

Thanks for the recipe.  I have a lemon myrtle in my backyard and am looking at ways to use the leaves.  I flavoured some biscuits once by drying the leaves in a low oven then milling them to powder and adding to the dough. The biscuits tasted nice but had a green tinge to them.  The leaves smell beautiful when crushed.
