What You Will Need For Strawberry Sorbet

Makes About 1 litre (34oz), Preparation Time 5 Minutes, Freezing Time 10 Minutes in an ice cream maker.

  • 650g (22oz) Fresh Strawberries – Hulled (Tops Removed)
  • 150g (5oz) Sugar
  • 150ml (5oz) Water
  • 1 Tsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract

How To Make Strawberry Sorbet

Add all of the strawberries into a blender and puree until smooth. Don’t puree the mixture too much as you will start to break up the seeds.

In a small saucepan, bring the water to the boil before dissolving the sugar. Add the lemon juice and vanilla and simmer for 2 minutes.

Pour the sugar mixture into the strawberry puree and mix well together. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 8 hours before putting into the ice cream maker. This allows the flavours to fully develope and the mixture to get cold enough for the ice cream maker.

This recipe freezes well for up to a month. Take it our a few minutes before serving to allow it to soften. You can also use this sorbet as a base for your summer smoothies and avoid having to buy and keep fresh strawberries on hand.
