Ingredients

  • 250 g Strawberries, raw
  • 55 g Sugar
  • 70 g Water

Method

  1. Hull the strawberries and roughly chop them.
  2. Warm the water with the sugar in a small pan, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves, then let the syrup cool.
  3. Blend the strawberries with the cooled syrup and lemon juice until completely smooth.
  4. Pass the puree through a fine sieve to remove the seeds, if you like a smoother sorbet.
  5. Churn in an ice cream maker according to its instructions until thick and scoopable, then transfer to a container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.
  6. If you don't have an ice cream maker, freeze the mixture in a shallow container, whisking or blending every 30-45 minutes until smooth and firm.
  7. Let soften for a few minutes at room temperature before scooping to serve.
