HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY SORBET

1. Puree the strawberries.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water and sugar, and boil until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and allow the syrup to completely cool. Once cool, stir in the puréed strawberries and lemon or lime juice.
3. Pour the mixture into a 9x5 metal baking pan.
4. Freeze until firm (about 4 hours), stirring with a fork every thirty minutes for the first 3 hours. This is important. Don’t skip this step if you aren’t using an ice cream machine.

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS STRAWBERRY SORBET RECIPE

Stirring - Stirring the strawberry sorbet every thirty minutes adds air to the sorbet, making it smoother and easier to scoop.

Strawberries - You can use fresh strawberries or frozen and thawed strawberries to make this strawberry sorbet.

Tartness - Increase the lemon juice to 2 tablespoons for more tartness.

Icy Sorbet - If the sorbet is too icy, allow it to soften for 20 minutes, add it to a food processor, process and refreeze.

Don’t skimp on the sugar – Sugar not only adds sweetness to homemade sorbets, it also helps with the texture and helps prevent sorbets from being too icy.

Scooping it - If the sorbet is too firm to scoop, allow it to sit on the counter for 15-20 minutes, or until it softens enough to scoop.
