Strawberry Sorbet
Tonight we tried a new recipe from Ben and Jerry ice cream book that i bought the other day . Instead of choosing ice cream , i decided let’s just try making sorbet , we bought lots of strawberries earlier anyway from the grocery store , why not putting them to a good use . The recipe only calls for half a pound , not much at all , but it makes about 1 quart of sorbet . Sorbet is made from fresh fruits , sugar and water , no milk and no heavy cream involved . But i guess if it’s Americanize sorbet , it would be involving milk somehow . This , the one i made tonight was a better choice i think , because it has no milk or heavy cream , it is low in calories . And not to mention it’s so refreshing !
You need :
1/2 lb of fresh strawberry , sliced and hulled
3/4 cup of sugar
juice from 1 large lemon
1/4 cup of corn syrup
2 cups of cold water
1. Mix the strawberry , lemon and sugar , mix them well , cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour .
2. After 1 hour , mash or use immersion blender to make strawberry puree . Add water and corn syrup , mix well with whisk .
3. Pour into ice cream maker , and follow your ice cream maker direction .
