  I made this for a lunch party and it was amazing. I don't have an ice-cream maker and I was impressed with the smooth results - I blitzed it a couple of times during the freezing process.

  wow...fantastic!!! So simply to make. I am surprised there has only been one comment and rating so far. I made it last night and added the egg white when I pulled it out from freezer the 1st time. This morning, I churned it again with the food processor and it doubled in volume!! It tastes wonderful...great for summer, light and soothing!!!

  One question - given that it has egg white in it, can it be kept in the freezer for long?

  This is a lovely sorbet - smooth and silky with gorgeous fresh flavour. It's quite sweet, so next time I make it I might try a tip I read somewhere, by adding a dash of angostura bitters to counteract the sweetness. I am also using this recipe with other fruits as it gives such a lovely smooth result, even without an icecream maker.

  Never made a sorbet before and this was so easy and turned out fantastic. Didn't quite have enough strawberries but topped up with peaches and kiwi!

  Umm very pleasant. I think I might try a recipe without egg white next time because I find this quite creamy and I've always thought of sorbet as more of an ice slush type of thing.

  This is a nice sorbet, and the idea with the balsamic vinegar is especially lovely. However, I found it much too sweet: I will half the sugar, or maybe only use a third, next time.

  This was so delicious and refreshing! It was fine without an ice cream maker. I added some extra balsamic vinegar and chopped basil! My only difficulty was pushing the strawberries through the sieve and then trying to get the seeds out of the sieve - still haven't managed this! I served it with hot summer fruits and clotted cream ice cream (which I didn't make!). An excellent way of using up strawberries that are on the turn!
