　　Nieve, or "snow," is Mexico's sorbet, sold from carts throughout the country. Ours is a quick version, made with passion-fruit nectar instead of puréed and strained fruit. For the best flavor, look for a nectar that contains just water, passion-fruit juice, and sugar.

Ingredients

　　3 cups passion-fruit nectar (24 fl oz), chilled

　　2/3 cup light corn syrup

　　2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Special Equipment

　　Stir together all ingredients and freeze in ice cream maker. Transfer sorbet to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, at least 1 hour.

　　Cooks' note:

　　Sorbet keeps, frozen, 1 week.
