Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries to get them ready for blending.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Freeze the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a shallow container. Cover and place it in the freezer until firm, about 4-6 hours, stirring every hour to prevent large ice crystals.
- Scoop and Serve: Once the sorbet is fully frozen and has a smooth texture, scoop into bowls or cones and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, stir the sorbet every 30-45 minutes while freezing.
- Adjust sugar quantity based on sweetness of strawberries.
- Lemon juice not only adds flavor but helps prevent the sorbet from becoming too icy.
- If you don’t have fresh strawberries, frozen can be used but thaw before blending.
