Author: Christopher Kosovich

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 quart fresh strawberries hulled
  • 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Stir water and sugar in heavy medium saucepan over high heat until sugar dissolves to create a sugar syrup.
  • Boil 5 minutes.
  • Puree strawberries in food processor until smooth.
  • Add strawberry puree, orange, and lemon juices to sugar syrup; stir to blend.
  • Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.
  • Place mixture in shallow container (3x9-inch metal or glass baking pan) and freeze, stirring every hour until set, about 6 hours.
  • Cover and freeze in airtight container.

Notes

Can be made up to 3 days ahead. If sorbet is frozen solid, place in refrigerator for 15 minutes to soften.
Tried this once and forgot the orange so I substituted some orange extract and some fresh limes instead, adjusted to taste.
