Making Strawberry Sorbet at home is not only fun but also incredibly satisfying. Follow these simple steps for a delightful treat:
1. Prepare Strawberries: Start by rinsing your strawberries thoroughly. Remove the green tops and slice them.
2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
3. Taste and Adjust: Taste your mixture. If you prefer it sweeter, feel free to add more sugar, blending again until dissolving.
4. Strain Mixture: If desired, strain the mixture through a fine sieve to remove seeds for a smoother sorbet.
5. Chill the Mixture: Pour the strawberry mixture into a bowl. Cover and place in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to chill.
6. Freeze the Mixture: Transfer the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to churn for about 20-25 minutes.
7. Transfer to Container: Once thickened and frosty, transfer the sorbet into an airtight container. Freeze for an additional 3-4 hours to firm up further.
8. Serve: Before serving, allow the sorbet to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
