Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and quartered
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh mint or basil leaves (for aromatic twist)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull about 4 cups of fresh strawberries, removing stems and any bruised spots. Cut them into halves or quarters to ensure smooth blending later.
  2. Make the Simple Syrup: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat on medium until sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely to help achieve a silky texture in the sorbet.
  3. Blend the Ingredients: Place the prepared strawberries, the cooled simple syrup, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice into a blender or food processor. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and vibrant in color.
  4. Strain for Smoothness: For the perfect silky texture, pass the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp. This step is optional but recommended for refined sorbet.
  5. Chill and Freeze: Pour the strained mixture into a shallow container and freeze for about 4 hours. Stir the mixture every 30 to 45 minutes to break up ice crystals and maintain a soft, scoopable consistency.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once the sorbet is firm and ready, scoop it into bowls or cones and enjoy immediately for the freshest flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe and fresh strawberries for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not skip making the simple syrup as sugar controls texture and prevents icy chunks.
  • Stir the sorbet regularly while freezing to achieve a smoother and creamier texture.
  • Taste and adjust sugar or lemon juice before freezing to balance sweetness and tartness.
  • Chill blender components if possible to speed up blending and maintain texture.
