1 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
1 pint fresh strawberries
1/2 cup orange juice

Combine water & sugar in a pan, stir over low heat until sugar dissolves.
2
Bring to a boil & boil gently for 5 minutes without stirring.
3
Set aside to cool.

Wash berries.
5
Remove caps.
6
Puree fruit in a blender or food processor until almost smooth.

Amazing sorbet! I've made 3 times now and the last time was with frozen organic strawberries. Using the frozen strawberries it came out much sweeter than if using fresh. If using frozen, cut back on the sugar but not the water. I didn't use a ice cream machine. It freezes rock hard if left in the freezer overnight so you have to have patience and let it sit out for 30 minutes or so before eating if it's hard as a rock. Next time I will try substituting Triple Sec or Cointreau for part of the orange juice. Maybe using a little flavored alcohol will prevent it from freezing solid.

I LOVE THIS! It is so easy to make and tastes great. I wouldn't change a thing about it. This recipe has quickly become a staple for me- I make it almost weekly since it's so easy and only takes 25 minutes in my Cuisinart ice cream maker. My husband and I love it! Thank you so much for this awesome recipe!

Intense is a very good way to describe this sorbet. It's great for a hot summer day and fairly easy to make. The only thing I did differently was to boil the sugar syrup a bit longer to take it to a "short thread" stage. I learnt in a cooking class that this means the sorbet will not melt as quickly. I think this would also be good with lime juice instead of orange juice.

This was so good. I put the sorbet in a freezer bag and squished it around while it was freezing and it just turned out great. I save it for a special treat. Thank you for posting. Acually I'm making more today as I have a lot of strawberries.
