Strawberry lemon sorbet

Refreshing and bursting with fruitiness

Difficulty and servings

Moderately easy

Serves 8 - 10

Preparation and cooking times

Plus 4-5 hours freezing

Method

  1. Put the lemon pieces into a food processor or blender with the sugar and pulse-chop until the lemon and sugar have combined to a purée. Tip the mixture into a bowl.
  2. Purée the strawberries and add to the lemon mixture. Add about half the lemon juice, taste and add more if necessary - the flavour of the lemon should be intense but not overpower the strawberries.
  3. Pour into an ice-cream machine and churn until frozen or freeze in a suitable container. You may need to churn the mixture in batches according to the size of your ice-cream machine.

    My ice cream maker holds 1.5kg and I had to do two batches, so I recommend halving all ingredients if you want to do it in one. Apart from that it was an easy recipe and if you get the ratio of strawberry/lemon right, it's got a really refreshing but sweet taste to it.

    Does any one know an alternative to making the sorbet without an ice cream maker?

    I have made this many times over the years from a recipe attributed to Ruth Rogers and Rosie Gray (Good Food) but I do not have the date. I do not have an ice cream maker but this recipe says "Freeze in a rigid container. Whisk. Freeze again until semi-frozen. Whisk again then freeze" A bit of a palaver but well worth the trouble. Hope this helps QWERTREW.
