Strawberry Summer Sweet (Printable Version)

Fast, sweet strawberry sorbet for sunny days.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 360 g frozen strawberries
02 - 60 ml sugar of choice (pure maple syrup, white sugar, or xylitol)
03 - 10 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice or zest of 1 lemon
04 - Pinch of salt (optional)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Thoroughly remove stems from strawberries. If using fresh berries, arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined tray and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
02 - Place frozen strawberries, sugar, lemon juice or zest, and salt into a high-speed blender.
03 - Process on high speed, using a tamper if available, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, resembling soft serve. For standard blenders, allow strawberries to thaw briefly for easier processing.
04 - If using a regular blender, after blending transfer the purée to an ice cream maker and churn as per manufacturer's instructions, typically 20 minutes, until the sorbet is firm.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Best flavor achieved with fully ripe strawberries. Lemon juice brightens and enhances the natural fruit notes.
02 - No artificial additives or colorings included.
03 - Can be made ahead and kept in the freezer for up to two weeks.
04 - Allow sorbet to rest at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping if frozen solid.
05 - For a refined texture, pass sorbet through a fine sieve after blending to remove seeds.
