Berry sorbet made from frozen strawberries

Strawberries are the quintessential summer berry, a favorite of many children and adults. Their floral aroma and sweet-tart flavor are perfectly refreshing and invigorating. Frozen, they retain their flavor, so they can be safely stored in the freezer. Even in winter, strawberries make a delicious sorbet.

Preparation

Step 1

Make the syrup. Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan, place on the stove, and cook until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 2

In an empty container, mash the strawberries until they reach a puree consistency.

Step 3

Combine the syrup with the strawberry puree and stir.

Step 4

Pour the mixture into a freezing mold.

Step 5

Cover with a lid and place in the freezer for 1–1.5 hours.

Step 6

After the time has elapsed, remove the slightly frozen sorbet from the freezer and stir. This will prevent crystals from forming in the texture. Repeat this process 2-3 times over the course of 3-4 hours until the sorbet is completely frozen.

Garnish the finished sorbet with berries or mint. Serve.
