Fresh Strawberry Sorbet


As promised I'm posting another wonderful summer sorbet recipe! I hope you enjoy it. You can make this recipe using the freezer method if you are without an ice cream maker.

Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
2 pints fresh ripe strawberries
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until mixture comes to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand approximately 10 minutes.

Lightly rinse and dry the strawberries; hull and cut in halves. In a food processor or blender, puree the strawberries with 1/4 cup of the sugar syrup.

Add lemon juice, and pureed strawberries to the remaining sugar syrup; stir until thoroughly blended.

Ice Cream Maker: Transfer mixture to ice cream maker, process according to manufacturer's instructions.

Freezer Method: Pour into container, cover, and place mixture in the freezer. When it is semi-solid, mash it up with a fork and refreeze again. When frozen, place in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Cover and refreeze until serving time.
