Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1.5 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries to prepare them for blending.
In a small saucepan, combine granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar fully dissolves, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the simple syrup cool completely.
In a blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt.
Blend the mixture until completely smooth. Pause the blender and scrape down the sides as needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
(Optional) Strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove seeds and achieve a smoother texture. Use a spoon to press the mixture through the sieve, discarding any solids left behind.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1-2 hours, or until well chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually 20-25 minutes) until it reaches a thick, sorbet-like consistency.
Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container and smooth the surface with a spatula. Cover tightly and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to allow it to firm up.
Serve scoops of the Strawberry Balsamic Sorbet on its own or with a garnish of fresh mint leaves for an elegant touch.
