Fresh Strawberry Sorbet Recipe

FRESH STRAWBERRY SORBET

I simply am in love with ice cream and frozen treats of any kind, especially in the summer when fruit is juicy and ripe. Strawberry sorbet is so easy and so  refreshing. Use this recipe to make sorbet with fresh berries of any kind. If you use raspberries or blueberries, exchange the lime juice for lemon juice. Happy spinning!

Skill Level: Easy

Category: Dessert

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: Chill at least 2 hours before spinning.

INGREDIENTS

2 pounds fresh strawberries, sliced and hulled

1 ¼ cup sugar

¾ cup water

2 tablespoons lime juice

Scant pinch kosher salt

 

Prepare an ice bath in a large heat-proof bowl.

Put the sugar and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. Cool by stirring over the ice bath. Set aside.

Puree the fruit in a blender or use a juicer if you have one. Strain to remove any seeds or pulp. Add the lime juice. Mix with the cooled simple syrup. Chill for an hour or more before spinning according to your ice cream maker’s instructions. Put in plastic container in freezer to set before serving.
