Lychee Sorbet with Fruit Salsa

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
• 2 (20-ounce) cans whole seedless lychees in heavy syrup, undrained
• Fruit Salsa
• Fresh mint sprigs (optional)

Preparation

1. Combine the first 3 ingredients in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat; strain mixture through a double-layer cheesecloth-lined sieve into a bowl. Discard solids.
2. Strain lychees through a colander into a bowl, reserving 1/2 cup liquid; discard remaining liquid. Combine lychees and 1/2 cup liquid in a blender, and process until smooth. Strain mixture through a double-layer cheesecloth-lined sieve into bowl over ginger mixture. Discard lychee pulp.
3. Pour the lychee mixture and ginger syrup into the freezer can of an ice-cream freezer; freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Spoon the sorbet into a freezer-safe container; cover and freeze 1 hour or until firm. Serve sorbet with Fruit Salsa. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
