Fresh Fig and Mint Sorbet

I'm in a Croatian folk band called Gradec. On Sunday I went to visit Mama (the 72 year old matriarch of the band) at her home to help her pick figs from her trees. Mama promptly tried to feed me everything in sight and sent me home with a generous amount of fresh figs. On the drive home I decided to make this fresh fig and mint sorbet.... it it very light and refreshing, though not as yummy as the blueberry basil sorbet that I made a few weeks ago!
