CACTUS FIG AND LIME SORBET
The fruit of the prickly pear cactus (often called 'cactus fig' or 'tuna,') is sweet and juicy. Coupled with lime and frozen, it makes a light, refreshing summer treat. You can find cactus fig at any Mexican grocery and at some gourmet markets.

Steps:
- Remove the outer skin of the cactus figs to expose the light green flesh. Push the flesh through a mesh sieve into a bowl, collecting the juice and trapping the seeds and pulp.
- Combine water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; allow to cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
- Stir cactus juice and lime juice into the sugar water. Mix thoroughly; chill for 1 hour.
- Pour cactus-lime mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

FIG SORBET
I love fig ice cream, so I decided to try sorbet, and although I wasn't crazy about the color, I couldn't resist the flavor. Make sure to use fully ripe, sweet figs for this. My favorite way to make this is with red wine.

Steps:
- Combine the water or wine and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Add the rose geranium or rose water, remove from the heat and allow to cool. Strain if you steeped the rose geranium sprig.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and purée until smooth. You may have to do this in two batches. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight.
- Chill a container in the freezer. Blend the mixture with an immersion blender for 30 seconds, then freeze in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to the chilled container and place in the freezer for 2 hours to pack. Allow to soften in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes before serving.

FRESH FIG GELATO
Steps:
- Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and boil the syrup until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove the syrup from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
- Mix the puree with the cool syrup, then stir in the "neutral" stabilizing powder, whisking for 5 minutes. (The stabilizing powder prevents ice crystals from forming and helps ensure a smooth textured gelato.) Chill the gelato base thoroughly then process it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Spoon the gelato into containers and freeze until ready to serve.
FRESH FIG AND PORT SORBET
The ingredients are clearly classic Portuguese (figs, port) and sorbet was almost part of the Moorish repertoire (ice was brought from the Sierra Nevada mountains to the Alhambra to provide coolness for sliced fruit), but in all other respects, this is about as non-traditional a recipe as you can find for the Zaar World Tour 5 (2009)! This recipe uses no milk or cream; the flavor of the figs and port is there, but understated and it is absolutely wonderful. You can stay within the traditional Iberian palate and use vanilla sugar instead of plain sugar (don't use vanilla extract, unless you cook off the alcohol), but that's just gilding the lilly. Full credit goes to Eating Out Loud (http://www.eatingoutloud.com/2008/08/fresh-fig-port-sorbet.html), who in turn credits Ms. Adventures in Italy for the idea of a Fig Sorbet (http://www.msadventuresinitaly.com/blog/2007/07/03/fresh-fig-sorbet/)

Steps:
- Trim the hard parts and stems of the figs and quarter the remainder.
- Add the figs and water to a saucepan, cover and bring to a simmer.
- As the mixture heats up, add the lemon zest.
- Stir 2-3 times over the first 10 minutes.
- After about 10 minutes, the figs will soften and begin to break up.
- When the figs are soft, add the sugar and cook uncovered for 2-3 minutes more until the mixture becomes thick and syrupy.
- Remove from the heat.
- Using either a stick blender in the pot or transferring the mixture to a regular blender, VERY CAREFULLY (Remember, this mixture is hot), puree the mixture.
- Now add the port, 1 1/2 cups of water and the lemon zest to the mixture.
- Taste and if it's too tangy (i.e., you didn't have Meyer lemons and substituted regular lemons), you may need to adjust with a tiny amount of sugar.
- Once the mix is cool, pour into your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's directions to get a semi-firm consistency.
- Remove the ice cream and place in a container in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Remove, scoop, and enjoy!
