Yonanananabooboo Pineapple Banana Papaya Sorbet

Oh yea. I really needed to take a minute to at least draft this post as this was so outstanding. This was the second time I've used my new Yonanas frozen fruit sorbet machine. Saw this on sale at Amazon recently and thought what the heck? 

Sitting on 2 bushels of ripening bananas and having harvested several of our white Jade pineapples from the garden, along with the papaya that has to be harvested daily because it's season... Yea, kinda felt ok about this little purchase especially if it did what all the rave reviews claimed.

Holy buckets of frozen fruit, people. This is everything your covid summer has been missing. Ok, maybe that's just me but I'm digging this clever little kitchen device!

All it takes is frozen bananas, ideally, and frozen fruits of your choice, semi thawed enough to process. Shouldn't be mushy but still frozen just not rock hard either. Think about the fruit shute and size your fruit accordingly before freezing. 

Bananas will fit fine and that's sorta what makes the perfect sorbet without any additional sweeteners. It's frozen fruit science. Basically shaving the frozen fruit before forcing it out of the machine giving it the most excellent texture. Super fantastic texture. 

Our sorbet was started by chunking fresh pineapple, whole bananas and slices of peeled, seeded papaya. It's what we had. My first run using the machine we used frozen organic blueberries and strawberries from Costco and our homegrown bananas. It was out of this world.
Tsu was so impressed he immediately went to town on preparing a bag of fruit that became today's masterpiece.

This was the result of just a frozen gallon bag of fruit, maybe about a lb or so of fruit. The first quart was primarily bananas and pineapple until I could get to the bottom of the bag with the much more frozen papaya. But I ran out of room in my bowl so transferred that batch to a quart and ran the rest.

2 quarts or so of organic fruit sorbet made in less than 10 minutes. Ridiculous. Worth every penny of $40 or so on Amazon. Especially when I love sorbet enough to buy it frequently and I am blessed with an overabundance of fresh fruit. I mean, where has this thing been all my life?

Even if frozen sorbet isn't your jam...maybe it's frozen cocktails, huh?? Yea! Wanna blow your mama away with a real Pina colada? Or a strawberry daiquiri? Or a monkeyslap? Lol ok I made that last one up but kinda feel like I have one of those in my near future.
