This sweet, soft strawberry sorbet rivals any brand in the grocery store. Unable to find the perfect recipe, I made my own. Most homemade sorbets resemble an icy slushie, but this one is thickened before freezing, yielding a melt-in-your-mouth treat that will please even the pickiest sorbet lover. It’s dually great because it can be made in an ice cream machine or your regular freezer.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ripe strawberries, hulled and chopped
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 ½ teaspoons cold water
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Place berries in the bowl of a food processor and pur?e until smooth. Pour mixture into a large saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar and salt; stir until dissolved and bring to a simmer.
Step 2
Whisk together cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl; stir into simmering berry mixture. Remove the saucepan from heat, stir in lemon juice, and allow to cool slightly. Refrigerate berry mixture until cold, about 2 hours.
Step 3
Freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
