A refreshing frozen summer dessert, loaded with sweet strawberries and balanced with a tart cranberry-lime juice combo.
Ingredients:
-
3/4 cup white granulated sugar
-
1/2 cup water
-
1/2 cup cranberry juice
-
1/4 cup lime juice
-
1 tsp lime zest
-
2 1/2 cups frozen strawberries
Directions:
1. In a small pot on the stove, over medium heat, simmer the sugar and water until dissolved. Remove from heat, mix-in the cranberry juice, lime juice and zest. Chill in the fridge for 4-48 hours.2. In a food processor or blender, process frozen strawberries and the simple syrup mixture for 1 minute or until smooth. Scrape down the sides using a spatula as needed.
3. Add the strawberry purée to the ice cream maker and churn for about 15 minutes. While the sorbet is being made, put the final container in the freezer to chill.
4. When the sorbet is done, the consistency should be half-way between ice cream and a smoothie. Remove the container from the freezer and transfer the sorbet into it. Make sure there are no air pockets. Cover the sorbet with a lid or cling wrap and store in the freezer. Eat right away as soft-serve or give it an hour or two to firm up. Serve using an ice cream scoop and enjoy!
