Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Strawberry Sorbet:
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and let the simple syrup cool to room temperature.
- Puree Strawberries: In a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries until completely smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds if desired.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir in the cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, and salt until well combined. Chill mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1–2 hours.
- Churn and Freeze: Pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions until thick and slushy. Transfer sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Notes
- For a stronger strawberry flavor, roast the berries at 375°F for 15 minutes before pureeing.
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish, freeze, and stir every 30 minutes until set.
