Strawberry Sorbet

Submitted by Nancy G.

"Refreshing! I use a stick blender instead of a regular blender when mixing the syrup and berries. Frozen strawberries can be substituted for the fresh. Cooking time is freezing time in the machine. Recipes for Raspberry Sorbet, Pineapple Sorbet, and Orange Sorbet are at the end of the directions!"
