Strawberry Sorbet

Smooth and intense strawberry sorbet. This recipe uses just four ingredients and can be made with an ice cream machine or a food processor.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Chill Time 8 hours

Equipment

  • food processor

Ingredients

  • 600 g farm fresh strawberries very red with a strong flavor (they can be on the softer side), don’t use conventional berries from the store as those do not have good flavor and won’t yield a flavorful sorbet
  • 120g or ½ cup water
  • 100g or ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons golden or corn syrup
  • Juice of a small lemon

Instructions

  • *If you’d like to use an ice cream machine to churn the sorbet, see the above section titled Option to Churn the Strawberry Sorbet for directions.

Prep the Berries

  • Wash the berries in a sieve with cold water. Spread the berries on paper towels or a flour sack to dry. Once dry, remove the green bits and if the berries are big, slice in half.
  • Set the berries in the freezer for at least 8 hours before making the sorbet. The berries will be fine for 2-3 months in the freezer if you are prepping this for later in the year.

Make the Syrup

  • Place the water, sugar, golden or corn syrup in a small pot. Set it over medium heat, stir once warm, and cook until steaming, and the sugar has dissolved. Pour into a heat safe bowl to cool.

Make the Sorbet

  • Set the frozen berries in a food processor. Pour the cooled syrup over the berries and add a pinch of salt and the juice of a small lemon. Pure the mixture on high until smooth. Pour into a freezer safe, airtight container. Freeze for 8 hours before serving. The sorbet will keep well for about two weeks.
