Cold Comfort | Make Your Own Strawberry Sorbet

Curiously, the table was set with just small plates, linen napkins and a beautiful glowing candle.  To everyone's enchantment, the meal was fine wine and a nice assortment of wonderful but simple hors' dourves.  For dessert:  Just sorbet.  Just right for tonight.

strawberry sorbet

4 cups frozen strawberries

1 cup sugar

1 1/2 cups water

2 Tbsp lemon juice

Place frozen berries in a 9 x 13- inch metal pan.  Combine sugar and water in a saucepan.  Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook 10 minutes.  Pour hot syrup over the berries in the cake pan then stir in lemon juice.   Freeze one hour, or until frozen along the edges.  Break up the ice and put entire mixture into a food processor or deep pan or bowl if using an immersion blender.  Blend until smooth.  Pack into a plastic container with a lid.  Freeze for 4 hours.
