Creating your own homemade Strawberry Sorbet is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Strawberries: Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice them to maximize surface area for blending.
2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary.
3. Strain Mixture (optional): If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
4. Chill Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into a bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld.
5. Freeze: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker. Follow the machine’s instructions to churn until it reaches a soft-serve consistency. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish.
6. Hard Freeze: If using a shallow dish, place it in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, stir the sorbet with a fork to break up any ice crystals until fully frozen. This may take about 2 to 4 hours.
7. Serve Immediately: Once ready, scoop the sorbet into bowls and enjoy. You can let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes if it’s too hard to scoop.
