Strawberry Sorbet
2 cups *strawberries1 1/4 cups simple syrup (see recipe)
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest
In a blender puree the strawberries and about 1/2 of the simple syrup.
Add the rest of the ingredients and give it a whirl. Pour it into an ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s directions, although on my machine it takes about 20 to 30 minutes.
*Optional: if you use other fruit, such as peaches, first peel and core the fruit.
Simple Sugar Syrup
2 cups water2 cups sugar
Bring the sugar and water to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat and gently simmer until all the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
Keep stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Makes about 2 1/2 ups.
