Description
This vibrant strawberry sorbet is made with just four ingredients—strawberries, sugar, water, and lemon or lime juice. It’s quick to prepare, wonderfully refreshing, and captures the pure flavor of summer berries.
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 cups water
- 5 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, cleaned and quartered (about 2 lb)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice or lime juice
Instructions
- Rinse and quarter the strawberries; set them aside.
- In a saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool.
- Combine the cooled syrup, lemon (or lime) juice, and strawberries in a large bowl.
- Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth.
- Pour into a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
Notes
- Lime juice adds a tangier citrus flavor.
- Mix in raspberries for a deeper berry taste.
- Add fresh mint leaves for a herbal note.
- Reserve some chopped strawberries for texture.
- Let sorbet sit out for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
