Description
Strawberry sorbet offers a refreshing escape into pure summer bliss. Cool crimson sweetness melts delicately on your palate, delivering pure fruity delight with each silky spoonful.
Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 5 cups (2 pounds) fresh or frozen strawberries, cleaned and quartered
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Liquids and Acids:
- 3 cups water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice or lime juice
Instructions
- Meticulously wash ripe strawberries under cool running water, then slice them into delicate quarters, ensuring uniform size for smooth blending.
- Craft a lucid simple syrup by merging water and sugar in a medium saucepan, heating over medium-high flame while continuously stirring until sugar completely dissolves and transforms into a translucent liquid.
- Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature, releasing steam and reducing potential crystallization.
- Integrate the cooled syrup with freshly squeezed lemon juice and prepared strawberry segments in a spacious mixing bowl, creating a vibrant crimson mixture.
- Transfer the fruity concoction into a high-powered blender or food processor, processing in small incremental batches to achieve a velvety, homogeneous texture without lumps.
- Carefully pour the silky purée into a freezer-safe container, ensuring even distribution for consistent freezing.
- Place the container in the freezer, allowing the sorbet to solidify completely for a minimum of 6-8 hours or preferably overnight.
- When ready to serve, extract the sorbet and let it rest briefly at room temperature for effortless scooping, then garnish with fresh strawberry slices if desired.
- Store any remaining sorbet in an airtight container, preserving its pristine flavor for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Prep ahead by washing and cutting strawberries in advance to streamline the sorbet-making process.
- Create a perfect simple syrup by stirring sugar and water until completely dissolved, ensuring a smooth texture.
