Instructions
HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY SORBET WITH ICE CREAM MAKER
- Wash the strawberries. Then remove the green bunch and any spoiled or unripe parts. Finally, dry them with the paper towel.
- In a saucepan, dissolve the sugar in the water over a low heat. Turn off the heat and allow to cool completely. Meanwhile, squeeze ½ lemon to get its juice.
- Pour the lemon juice into a blender glass. Add the strawberries and blend for a few moments until thick.
- Add the cooled sugar syrup. Mix well. You should end up with a smooth mixture. Pour the strawberry sorbet mixture into the basket of the ice cream maker.
- Follow the machine's instructions and let it churn the sorbet. This usually takes about 40 minutes. When finished, you can enjoy your strawberry sorbet right away or store it in a container in the freezer.
HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY SORBET WITHOUT ICE CREAM MAKER
- BEFORE YOU START! Place a container in the freezer for at least 2 hours.
- Follow the first 4 steps above. When the strawberry sorbet mixture is ready, pour it into the cooled container. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Remove from the freezer and stir with a whisk. Return the strawberry sorbet to the freezer.
- This mixing process should be repeated 4 or 5 times. Always about 30 minutes apart ( it takes about 5 hours). If the strawberry sorbet is practically liquid at first, it will gradually become more consistent. If you break up the ice crystals well each time, you will end up with a creamy strawberry sorbet, similar to what you get with an ice cream maker. Enjoy!
