    Strawberry Sorbet

    Strawberry Sorbet

    Ingredients:
    800g Fresh Strawberries ( approximately this is not a particularly fussy recipe)
    1 cup orange juice ( I use Tropicana Sanguinello as it r0x0rs)
    1 1/4 cups sugar
    1/2 cup water
    3 Tbsps Lemon juice
    2 Tbsps Vodka

    Method:

    Put the Orange juice, water and sugar in a pot and bring slowly to the boil, boil the ensuing syrup lightly for a few minutes then let it cool.

    Clean and top your strawberries then halve them.

    Put the strawberries and 1/4 of the cooled orange syrup into a food mixer and blend until you have a liquidy consistency.

    Add the rest of the syrup then the vodka and the lemon juice into the mixture and blend it all up again.

    The vodka is only to stop the mixture from freezing completely and not for anything else, it keeps it smooth.

    When all is mixed you want to put it in a tupperware tub or an old ice cream tub and whack it in the freezer.

    When it is starting to freeze take it out and run a fork all through it to stop large ice crystals forming and do this at regular intervals until it is completely frozen or you can let it freeze then take it out of the tub and liquidise the frozen mixture then pop it back in the tub quickly and refreeze it.

    gin will do
    vodka is just good cos it is tasteless.

    So did you do this then and is it good?
    Didn't have time to explain it yesterday but any alcohol will do as it raises the freezing point of the water it is mixed in with, vodka is just particularly good as it is tasteless and does not influence taste, any white spirit is good generally.

    I have since done a variation on this with cherries mixed with strawberries (cherries are too expensive) cherries turned to pure juice rather than a pulp like with strawberies and it was not bad but did not have the punch expected, was too expensive for what I ended up with though really.

    Oh yeah, I also bought some ice lolly freezer forms and these are great with the sorbet, the nicest ice lolly you are likely to eat

    A sieve does the job if you mash the stawberries and then push them through the sieve with a spatula, so you dont need apliances as such. Will he not even eat fruity sweet stuff

    nice one
    I combined a few sorbet recipes that I found online to produce this one, some mentioned orange juice, some mentioned lemon juice and one mentioned vodka so this is what I ended up with and, yes it is as good as it sounds
