Instructions

Prepare Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar fully dissolves. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, add the sliced strawberries, lemon juice, cooled simple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
Chill Mixture: Pour the strawberry mixture into a bowl and chill it thoroughly in the refrigerator or in an ice water bath until it reaches about 30°F to 40°F. This step ensures better texture during churning.
Churn Sorbet: Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until you achieve a smooth, soft-serve consistency, typically around 20 to 25 minutes.
Freeze to Firm Up: Transfer the churned sorbet into an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until it becomes firm enough to scoop.
Serve and Enjoy: Scoop the refreshing strawberry sorbet into bowls or cones and enjoy this deliciously light summer dessert!

Notes

Use ripe, fresh strawberries for the best flavor and vibrant color.
You can adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of your strawberries.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow pan and stir every 30 minutes until frozen for a similar texture.
For a smoother sorbet, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before chilling.
Store sorbet in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals from forming.
