Strawberry Lemon Sorbet

Ingredients

  

Yields 3 cups of sorbet

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp. fresh lemon zest
• 1 1/2 cup fresh diced strawberries
• 1 tbsp. orange juice

Instructions

• Start by heating your water and granulated sugar in a medium-sized saucepan.
• Bring it to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves.
• Pour your syrup into bowl or glass (I recommend a glass measuring cup for easy measuring later) and chill in the refrigerator until cold.
• In the meantime, you can puree your diced strawberries with your orange juice until smooth, and then strain them through a sieve to remove any excess pulp.
• Since we're making a swirled sorbet, you'll need two containers for the first round of freezing (I used two 1-quart containers).
• In one container, combine your lemon juice, zest, and half of the syrup (approximately 3/4 cup).
• In the other container, combine your strawberry puree and the rest of the syrup.
• Cover both and freeze for 4 hours.
• After 4 hours, remove each from the freezer, blend each separately until smooth and slightly lighter in color (either a blender or an electric hand mixer works well for this)
• Combine in a 1-quart container in layers.
• Drag a butter knife through your layers to get a swirl effect.
• Return your sorbet to the freezer and chill until firm (preferably overnight).
