Ingredients
Syrup:
- 1 Cup granulated sugar
- 1 Cup water
Sorbet Mixture:
- 3 Cups strawberries (fresh or partially thawed)
- 3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Make Simple Syrup: Bring the sugar and water to a slow boil in a medium saucepan while stirring often to dissolve the sugar completely.
- Simmer Syrup: Quickly reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 2 to 3 minutes while stirring continuously, then remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly, trim off the stems, and add them to a blender along with the fresh lemon juice. Blend until you achieve a smooth puree free of chunks.
- Combine Mixtures: Add the cooled sugar syrup to the strawberry puree and blend briefly on low speed for 15 to 30 seconds to combine evenly.
- Freeze: Pour the combined mixture into a metal container or large ice cube trays and place it in the freezer for at least 3 to 4 hours or until firm and scoopable.
- Serve: Once frozen, scoop the sorbet with an ice cream scooper or spoon and serve immediately for a refreshing treat.

- Adjust sugar quantity depending on the sweetness of the strawberries.
