Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1.5 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries to prepare them for blending.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, combine granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar fully dissolves, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the simple syrup cool completely.
Step 3
In a blender or food processor, combine the strawberries, cooled simple syrup, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, and a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Blend the mixture until completely smooth. Pause the blender and scrape down the sides as needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 5
(Optional) Strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove seeds and achieve a smoother texture. Use a spoon to press the mixture through the sieve, discarding any solids left behind.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1-2 hours, or until well chilled.
Step 7
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions (usually 20-25 minutes) until it reaches a thick, sorbet-like consistency.
Step 8
Transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container and smooth the surface with a spatula. Cover tightly and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to allow it to firm up.
Step 9
Serve scoops of the Strawberry Balsamic Sorbet on its own or with a garnish of fresh mint leaves for an elegant touch.
