i <3 strawberries
i made strawberry sorbet today. yum.
yesterday i went to the hillsboro farmer's market with ignavus and windandsky and picked up a half flat of strawberries with the intention of making strawberry sorbet. a couple years ago i made some strawberry sorbet and decided to add some lemon zest along with the lemon juice. i did that again this time. it was pure yum. it took longer to make than i expected because i ran out of ice and didn't realize it soon enough, so i had to make another trip to the store. here is the recipe for anyone who is interested:
2 lbs hulled and pureed strawberries
juice of 2 lemons
zest from one of those lemons
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup water
in a saucepan get the water/sugar mixture up to boiling and boil for one minute after its completely disolved, this is what's called a simple syrup. then cool in the fridge (in a heatproof container) for about an hour to cool it. mix all of it together and throw it into the ice cream maker. run it for about 3-4 hours or however long it takes to get it to the right consistency.
enjoy!
