Strawberry Sorbet 4 Comments

Why is it when I see something in bulk (like 12 punnets of strawberry) I gravitate towards buying it? Is it a) I don’t want anyone else to have it, b) I grew up in a large family, c) I love entertaining and any excuse to entice friends over to share my cooking, or d) be rewarded with compliments.

In thinking about this, I decided it’s a combination of all of the above. Here is what I did: I froze ⅓ of strawberries to save for smoothies in the winter; ate ⅓ of strawberries (obviously) and they were so delicious; and made ⅓ into sorbet so I could continually enjoy the strawberries during summer.. me thinks I’m onto a good thing here.

I adapted this recipe from the apricot sorbet recipe I made last month, I figured if it ain’t broke then there is no need to change it. To make the strawberry sorbet more fun I added two vanilla beans. You can see the beautiful seeds with every bite. And, yes I did share the sorbet. My book club friends were over last night, and we ate a whole tub.
