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!
