Sorbetto alla fragola senza gelatiera

Ingredienti

• 1.75 lb (800g) frozen strawberries
• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
• 1-2 Tablespoons (15-30ml) lemon or lime juice
• pinch salt
• pinch citrus zest (lemon or lime) (*optional)

Preparazione

1. 1

   Rinse the frozen fruit under cold water first for 10-15 seconds to remove any excess ice crystals on the berries and helps soften them for easy blending. If the berries are quite large, consider cutting them into smaller pieces.

2. 2

   Start by adding rinsed frozen strawberries together with sugar, citrus juice of your choice, a pinch of salt, and optional zest to a blender.

3. 3

   Blend on high or on a "smoothie" setting for about 90 seconds or until a smooth mixture appears with no lumps. Taste the mixture, adding any additional citrus juice if needed.

4. 4

   When the mixture is velvety smooth, transfer it to an airtight container and slide it into your freezer. Patience is key here. Sorbet tastes best once it firms up. Before you can scoop it out, leave the sorbet in the freezer for 4 hours or overnight.
