Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup Sugar or Sweetener of choice (e.g., maple syrup)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (optional)
- Pinch of Salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash fresh strawberries thoroughly and remove the stems. Place them in the freezer for about 2 hours until they are solid. If using frozen strawberries, ensure they are firm and not thawed.
- Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen strawberries, your chosen sweetener, lemon juice if using, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, resembling soft sorbet.
- Serve or Store: Immediately scoop the sorbet into cups for serving or transfer it to an airtight container. Freeze the sorbet for longer storage, up to three months. Allow it to soften slightly before serving if stored frozen.
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries for the best natural flavor, but frozen strawberries are a convenient alternative.
- Adjust the sweetness according to your preference or dietary requirements by using honey, maple syrup, or other sweeteners.
- Adding lemon juice brightens the flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
- A pinch of salt helps enhance the sweetness but can be skipped if you need to limit sodium intake.
- Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture or freeze longer for a firmer sorbet.
