Think of it as your secret weapon for a delicious end to a hot day or a guilt-free dessert after dinner.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

Steps to Delicious Strawberry Sorbet

Ready to make some magic happen? Let’s turn those strawberries into a refreshing sorbet!

1. Prep the Strawberries: In a large bowl, toss the hulled and sliced strawberries with sugar. Let them sit for about 30 minutes until they’ve released their juices—this is where the magic starts, as the sugar will draw out that sweet goodness!
2. Blend it Up: Transfer the strawberries and their lovely juices into a blender or food processor. Add the lemon juice and water, and blend until the mixture is smooth. Feel free to taste and adjust sweetness, because everyone’s idea of sweet is just a little different!
3. Chill Time: Pour the strawberry mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer. Let it freeze for about 4 hours. If you’re like me and can’t wait, check the mix after a couple of hours—give it a good stir with a fork to break up any ice crystals.
4. Scoop and Serve: Once it’s nice and frozen, scoop into bowls and serve as a refreshing treat. Bonus—feel free to garnish with fresh strawberries or mint leaves for a pop of color!

Cooking Tips

Here are a few tips to ensure your strawberry sorbet has everyone coming back for seconds (or thirds!):

• Frozen Strawberries: If fresh strawberries are out of season, don’t fret! Frozen strawberries work great too—just thaw them before blending.
• Sweet Tooth Alert: Feel like turning up the sweetness? You could add a splash of agave syrup or tweak the sugar levels to your liking. Just remember, a little goes a long way!
• Storage: If you somehow have leftovers (I really doubt you will!), store it in an airtight container in the freezer. Just remember to let it sit out for a few minutes before scooping—unless you’re into cardio workouts with your dessert!

But when it was finally time to serve, I was greeted with oohs and aahs. Trust me, nothing beats that moment when everyone is enjoying something you made with your own two hands. Even my picky eater managed to sneak in a couple of scoops!
