Perfect Strawberry Sorbet

Strawberry sorbet is the best! Especially right now that local strawberries are in season. They are so gorgeously delicious, sweet and juicy. It’s the perfect summer fruit.

After eating a few quarts just like candy, I felt like trying something different. This is what I came up with, and it is so good! Such a strong strawberry taste, sweet and tart; this is strawberries in a scoop.

Here is what you need:

• 6 cups hulled strawberries
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Here is what you do:

1. Process the strawberries in your food processor until completely smooth.
2. Place the strawberry sauce in a large bowl and whisk in the other ingredients.
3. Refrigerate for a few hours before putting the strawberry sauce in your ice cream maker. Churn according to your machine’s instructions for about 30 minutes.
4. Put in the freezer to set completely in an air-tight container. If you find the sorbet too hard for scooping, let the container sit on the counter for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

This is delicious! It is so soft, and the strawberry flavour is incredibly intense! The sorbet is not too sweet, not to tart, just perfection. I am completely in love with the intense red colour: so appealing! We finished the whole thing in a day and could not get over the extraordinary strawberry taste. Anyways, this is the best sorbet I made so far, so try it out and let me know what you think!
