Strawberry Sorbet

Submitted by Studentchef

"This recipe is from Vegcooking.com that my mother received just last week. Since there was a special on strawberries, my mother and I decided to make it, and I did for today. Let me say that I used more strawberries than was called and had trouble making the syrup. In the end, what I got was a slushy sorbet that still ended up tasting good, so I'm sure the sorbet would have been just as good. I suppose there is some one out there who can make a better sorbet than me."

With the exception of using Splenda for the sugar this was made as directed. It made a wonderfully fresh tasting sorbet that came out very well using the ice cream maker. It's quite pretty too. After a quick sample it went into the freezer to hang out until this afternoon. Yum!

I love strawberries and the flavor really come through here! I used frozen strawberries, and didn't have orange juice, so used a little mango. Love it!
