Ingredients
Frozen ripe strawberries
1 quart (stemmed and frozen)
Sugar
5 tablespoons (none)
Water
1/4 cup (none)
Instructions
1
Begin by placing the ripe strawberries in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until they are completely frozen solid.
2
Once frozen, add the strawberries and sugar to a food processor. Pulse on and off until the strawberries are broken into smaller pieces.
3
Carefully pour in the water, then process continuously until you achieve a smooth, creamy puree. Scrape down the sides as necessary to ensure all the ingredients are combined.
4
Transfer the strawberry mixture into a suitable container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover tightly and place it in the freezer.
5
To achieve the best texture, stir the mixture every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours. This helps to prevent ice crystals from forming and results in a beautifully creamy sorbet. After 2 hours, let it freeze undisturbed until firm enough to scoop, typically an additional 1-2 hours.
