Note

For best results, use ripe kiwi fruits for maximum sweetness. If your kiwis are very tart, you may increase the sugar slightly.

Storage: Keep the sorbet tightly covered in the freezer for up to one month. Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for easier serving.

Variation: You can substitute the limeade concentrate with fresh lime juice and a bit more sugar, though the texture may vary slightly.

If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow metal pan and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes with a fork to break up ice crystals until firm.
