Strawberry Sorbet

Whether you’re growing your own strawberries or taking advantage of the excellent summer strawberry prices, strawberry treats are a must make during the summer.

Here in California, you can’t drive anywhere without encountering a strawberry stand or a you-pick strawberry patch. Even though my boys have entered the tween-teen stage of life, they still get excited about picking juicy red strawberries.

I might add, that we have dozens and dozens of strawberry plants in our own backyard but for some reason they seem less inclined to pick those… go figure.

We make all kinds of treats with our fresh strawberries but this strawberry sorbet is something special. Perfectly refreshing for those endless 100+ degree days that seem to hit sometime in mid-July and extend on through “fall”.

What Do I Need?

Strawberry Sorbet only uses four ingredients, one of which is water. So basically, there is no reason to NOT make this easy dessert.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• strawberries – feel free to use fresh or frozen here, use what you have!
• sugar – while the strawberries are definitely sweet on their own, a simple syrup made with the sugar and water really is needed in this sorbet recipe
• water – typically a simple syrup is a 1:1 ratio of sugar to water but since we’re working with already sweet strawberries, you’ll only use one cup of sugar and three cups of water
• lemon juice – I also love this recipe with lime juice
