Blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed. Pour the fruit purée into a metal or stainless steel cylinder (garrafa) or any tall, narrow metal container. Place the cylinder in a larger container filled with crushed ice and rock salt, surrounding the sides completely. Rotate and stir the fruit mixture continuously using a long wooden paddle or spoon. This step mimics the traditional hand-churning technique used by street vendors. Continue churning for about 30–45 minutes until the mixture thickens and takes on a sorbet-like consistency. Serve immediately for a soft, slushy texture or freeze for an additional 2–3 hours for a firmer scoop.
