When we were growing up in Hawaii, avocados were virtually free. If you didn't grow them, a neighbor did.

To "put up" extras when we had more than we could eat, my mom created this simple, refreshing avocado sherbet. It takes just four ingredients and a few minutes, and it's really quite wonderful.

Avocados are high in fat, making sherbet of a creamy-rich consistency. The fat is primarily the "good" fats: monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. And you can feel virtuous about eating avocados; they are a nutritional powerhouse: http://www.avocado.org/nutrition

You'll need ripe avocados for this recipe. To select ripe fruit, squeeze gently; fruit should yield to gentle pressure. If avocados aren't ripe, put them in a brown paper bag along with an apple or banana to hasten the ripening process. Avocados should ripen in two to five days.
