Ingredients:


1 pound mandarins/clementines (preferably inchfortunas inch or inchclemenvillas inch)

6 medium passionfruit -- (6 to 8)

1 small pineapple -- optional or

1 can pineapple slices -- optional

1 medium ripe mango -- optional

Heat the sugar solution until it just begins to boil and turn slightly yellow. For this recipe, it's very important that you don't overdo the heating - you're NOT making toffee! - A caramel taste does not go at all well with the tropical fruits. Remove from the heat and blend with all the pureed fruits and juices. Mix well. Check that the mixture is sufficiently sweet. If not, you may need to add a little more fructose syrup. Pour into a plastic freezer-type container (1 quart capacity) and allow to freeze overnight. No churning is required during freezing. Serve with fresh mandarin segments or fresh pineapple, with wafers, parasols, sparklers, etc. to taste. (...though you might think my tastes are slightly over t
