Sorbet

4 C fruit juice or purée (start with 6-7 C or 2 lbs)
200 g sugar
2-4 T acid to taste (lemon juice is common)
1/8 - 1/4 t salt to taste

corn syrup if fruit lacks pectin or fiber (it's 1/3 as sweet as sugar and more viscous)
    fruits high in pectin -  berries, stone fruit, grapes
    fruit high in fiber - mangoes, pears, bananase
    fruits lacking in both - citrus, watermelon, pomegranate

Ideally, you need a sugar concentration of 20-30%.
Including the sugar in the fruit, don't exceed 275 g.
Purée and strain fruit.
Blend with sugar.
Perform the egg test.
    A clean, raw, floating egg should have the diameter of a quarter.
    If less, add more sugar; if more, add more fruit/liquid.
Make purée cold.
Churn.
