Combine the mango cubes, sugar, corn syrup and lemon juice in a
blender or food processor that has been fitted with the metal blade.
Pulse to chop, then process until thick and smooth, scraping jar or work
bowl as necessary with a spatula. The mango purée may be made up to
one day ahead; cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Turn the machine ON. Pour the mango purée into the freezer bowl and
mix until the mixture thickens, about 20 to 25 minutes. The sorbet will
have a “soft serve” texture. If desired, transfer the mango sorbet to an
airtight container and place in freezer until firm, about 2 hours to “ripen”.
