It’s strawberry season! And while we love eating those ripe, juicy red berries right off the plant, it’s mighty refreshing to turn them into strawberry sorbet.
This easy recipe combines a simple syrup made of sugar and water with fresh strawberries, a little lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to create a vibrant, summery sorbet.
