Strawberry Sorbet

My strawberry patch is still going strong. I’ve already made freezer jam, so what to make now…Strawberry Sorbet. I found this recipe on Food Network’s website. It’s Paula Deen’s recipe for Strawberry Sorbet and it is really good!

It has just 5 ingredients…I didn’t include the water in the picture. I thought that would be silly.

IMG_3409The first thing you do is make the simple syrup. Bring the sugar and water to a boil on medium-high heat. Do not stir! After it comes to a boil reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook for 3 minutes until sugar is dissolved. Remove pan from heat and allow to cool.

Put the cleaned and halved strawberries in a food processor with the lime juice and puree. I used my Ninja…I really like this thing.  IMG_3412

Pour the strawberry mixture into a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds.

I pressed the mixture with a spatula. A few seeds did get through, but that’s okay.

When the simple syrup has cooled, pour it into the strawberry puree…

Put the strawberry mixture in the refrigerator to chill. Then using your ice cream maker’s instructions make the sorbet. I used my Kitchen Aid.

After making the sorbet I froze it in freezer containers.
