Strawberry Sorbet

I love strawberries and since they are abundant this time of year it is hard to resist buying a flat at the farmer’s market to feed my habit. This week I had a craving for strawberry ice cream but there was no milk in the house and I wasn’t going to the store so sorbet was made instead! It is so easy, just needs to be planned in advance. To dress up and serve for guests drizzle a little reduced aged balsimico over the top and garnish with a lime wedge, strawberry slice, and shortbread cookie on the side.

1 cup sugar
1 cup water

4 cups strawberries
¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice

Combine the sugar and water in a sauce pan and bring to a boil until sugar dissolves, then simmer for 5 minutes. Pour into a bowl and place in the refrigerator to cool completely.

Puree the strawberries and add lime juice. Combine with the simple syrup and blend until thoroughly mixed.

Pour into an ice cream maker and follow manufacturer’s instructions. Freeze for at least 4 hours before serving.
