Ingredients
water
1/4 cup (measured)
lime juice
1/3 cup (freshly squeezed)
fresh strawberries
1 quart (washed and hulled)
granulated sugar
2 cups (measured)
Instructions
1
In a medium bowl, combine the granulated sugar, fresh lime juice, and water. Stir well to combine and allow the mixture to stand for about 15 minutes, or until the sugar is nearly dissolved and the mixture thickens.
2
In a blender or food processor, add the hulled strawberries along with the sugar-lime mixture. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
3
Pour the blended mixture into ice cube trays, filling them 3/4 of the way full. Freeze until the cubes are solid, which should take several hours. Once frozen, carefully unmold the cubes and store them in resealable freezer bags or airtight containers for later use. The texture will resemble a firm sherbet, allowing for easy scooping.
