Strawberries, oranges, sugar, and water are all you need!
Yay for summer produce! Strawberries are inexpensive, abundant, and flavorful! Make a fun and delectable dessert with your family with this simple sorbet.
Wash, hull and chop!
This strawberry huller is a great little gadget for little helpers. You really only need to rough chop these strawberries because they’re just going into the food processor a little later.
Combine and cook it all together!
I doubled the recipe, so you may not need such a large pot to combine it all in, but when I boil things together, I like to have a little elbow room for those potential boil-over moments.
Always use caution when pureeing hot liquids! But, yum, right?
This is our Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker. Endless fun!
And with a little patience between chill phases, you are rewarded with an amazingly refreshing treat!
Simple Summer Strawberry Sorbet
Ingredients for summer sorbet:
4 cups strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped
1 cup of water
1 cup of orange juice plus the zest of one orange
1/2 of cup sugar
In a pan, place the sugar, orange juice and water and bring it to a boil. Let it boil until sugar dissolves for about 3 minutes. Add the strawberries and the orange zest and let the mixture boil for 8 to 10 minutes. Puree the mixture (with an immersion blender, regular blender or food processor) and then push the it through a fine mesh strainer. Let it come to room temperature and place in the refrigerator to chill. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker for about 25 minutes and enjoy!
