Strawberry Sorbet



I will leave you with one last strawberry recipe this week.  Then I am off on vacation.  Stay tuned for some great guest posts though!

This has to be one of my favorite Strawberry recipes so far.  I don't know why, but it is just so good.  I have never been a huge fan of sorbet.  Nothing against it, but if I am going to eat something cold with a spoon like that, why not go for ice cream.  But as you know I had tons of strawberries, and my son liked sherbert at school this year, so why not give it a whirl.  So glad I did.

All of the recipes I found wanted lemon with the strawberries.  I didn't have any lemon, but I did have a lime.  And I really like strawberry and lime together - so I went for it.  I think it is what really made it over the top good!

Strawberry Sorbet
Printable Recipe

1 pound strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/3 cup sugar
1 Tbls lime juice

Mix the strawberries and sugar together.  Let them sit for about an hour to get all juicy.  Stir in the lime juice.  Puree the strawberries in the food processor or blender until nice and smooth.  Pour into your ice cream maker, and allow to churn for 20-25 minutes, according to the instructions.  Put in an air tight container to freeze.  Makes 1 1/2 quarts.

    That is a shining colourful sorbet cooling away the summer. Without the zest, lime and lemon are identical I think.
    Have a great vacation!
