Four simple ingredients blend into a smooth strawberry purée that freezes into a refreshing, dairy-free treat. It’s light, bright and ideal for warm days.
Bring sugar and water to a slow boil in a medium saucepan, stirring often.
Quickly lower heat and simmer while stirring for another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Wash and trim off the stems of the strawberries and put them in a blender along with the lemon juice. Blend into a puree that's smooth and free of chunks.
Add sugar mixture to the strawberry mixture and briefly blend on low speed for 15 to 30 seconds.
Pour mixture to a metal container or large ice cube trays and freeze for at least 3 to 4 hours until firm.
Scoop out with ice cream scooper or spoon and serve.
Notes
Taste before freezing: Adjust sweetness or citrus while the purée is liquid. Strain if needed: For an extra-smooth texture, pass the purée through a sieve. Freeze flat: A shallow pan freezes faster and scoops more easily. Soften briefly: Let the sorbet sit a few minutes before scooping for perfect texture.
