Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 100 milliliters water
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, removing any stems or leaves.
Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar fully dissolves, creating a simple syrup. Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature.
In a blender or food processor, add the strawberries, cooled simple syrup, and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
Taste the mixture and, if needed, adjust sweetness or acidity by adding more sugar or lemon juice.
Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds for a smoother texture (optional).
Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually around 20-25 minutes, until the sorbet reaches a thick, creamy consistency.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container and freeze. Stir every 30 minutes with a fork for the first 2-3 hours to break up ice crystals and achieve a smoother texture.
Once the sorbet has fully hardened, allow it to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping and serving.
Serve in bowls or cups with no need for forks—just a spoon for maximum enjoyment!
