Fast and Easy Fruit Gelato

1 container frozen fruit concentrate approx. 11.5 ounces, keep in freezer 5 cups ice
METHOD
1Open the container of frozen fruit concentrate and place in blender.
2Place blender on base.
3Add 5 cups of ice.
4Secure the lid.
5Press the pulse button.
6Keep pressing ice crush button on and off untill you have a perfectly smooth frozen treat.
7Store in freezer in an airtight container. In Italy they would use a stainless airtight container, like a Wolfgang Puck stainless bowl with airtight lid.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
There is nothing more refreshing, or feels more wonderful on your tongue than gelato. Less firm than ice cream or sorbet, yet more fruit flavored intense. There are tons of flavors of frozen fruit concentrate in your freezer section of the grocery store, like coconut, tangerine, passion fruit, and guava. Experiment with them all. On lemonade, we add 3 tablespoons of yogurt to blender and puree. It's like divine lemon custard.
