Hopefully some of you remember the delicious banana, pineapple, and other fruit sorbets that came out of Elizabeth and Keren's kitchen back when that room was shared between the two of us. 
I realized the recipe for those desserts wasn't on this blog, and was sad for us all. Thus, Banana Sorbet, and some variations. Please include your own!
Step 1: Dissolve half a cup of sugar in half a cup of boiling water, making sure to stir until sugar is dissolved. Let cool slightly, and then refrigerate until cold.
Step 2: In a food processor or blender, puree 2 medium bananas and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth. Add the sugar syrup. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch square metal pan. Freeze until solid, several hours or overnight.
Step 3: Break the sorbetto into chunks. Place in food processor and puree until smooth and creamy. Enjoy!
Other sorbets follow the same pattern, with differing amounts of syrup.
Pineapple sorbet: 3 cups of pineapple and 1 cup of water and sugar for the syrup.
Blueberry sorbet: 1 pint blueberries and 1 cup of water and sugar for the syrup.
Chocolate calls for milk (2 cups) with 1/4 cup sugar dissolved in it, and 3 ounces chocolate melted into that. (This I may have to try...)

yum. i have been meaning to make sorbet. in fact, i bought blueberries to make some. but then i just ate the blueberries.
I made this sorbet for a friend's bachelorette and it was ridiculously easy and good:
mango-coconut sorbet: 2 mangoes, 1 cup coconut milk, 1/4 c. sugar.
Puree all ingredients (I used a hand blender). Pour liquid into ice cube trays. Before serving, repuree slightly-softened ice cubes.
I put it in little macaroon "bowls". Yum sorbet!
The bowl idea is great. I made the pineapple version today (despite the guilt of blending a fruit from Central America). The fruit was so great, I didn't feel like it required as much sugar as the recipe called for. I put in a lot less. The result is still quite tasty, but I wouldn't skimp on the sugar the next time around.
