Strawberry Sorbet
By: bluemoon downunder

I have not made this recipe - alas, I do not own a Gelateria! - but just reading the simple combination of flavours, this sorbet sounds just SO delicious. A strawberry sorbet which combines the sweetness of strawberries with the tartness of limes. If you really are a diehard sweet tooth, use orange juice instead of lime juice, or a blend of orange and lime. This is a Sunbeam recipe, and you need a Sunbeam Gelateria - or a similar appliance - to complete the final step of the recipe. The 'cooking time' listed below is the time taken by the Gelateria to turn the mixture into sorbet. NOTE added July 2008: It's great to see that Zaar chefs have successfully made this recipe without Sunbeam's efforts to tell them that they needed a Sunbeam Gelateria to make it! Well done! When summer comes next, I shall certainly be trying it!

Made as directed using my Cuisineart ice cream maker kitchen gadget. I don't usually remove seeds from strawberries (not like I would from raspberries, anyway!), and it was so much work since I used a very fine sieve, but I have to say, it was fabulous without the seeds! So, the extra effort was worth it! Great consistency! Thanks, Bluemoon Downunder! Made for Zaar Stars.

5 Stars, even without a Gelateria, made while on vacation using my Vitamix and the condo's freezer, recommend freezing in small glasses or cups; after frozen hard, thaw at least 15 minutes before serving. Very refreshing, great strawberry accent, loved the lime juice to put the accent on the strawberries, powdered sugar meant the sugar dissolved almost instantly. Used as part of the delightful Fresh Fruit Sundaes #313680 for a real treat. Thanks for posting!
