    This bright red and luscious strawberry sorbet is quick, easy and intensely flavored. A striking dessert that will cheer anyone up, and it couldn't be easier to make.

    Strawberry Sorbet

    There's nothing quite like an ice cold, homemade sorbet to hit the spot on a hot summer day.

    This strawberry sorbet is one of my very first sorbet recipes, and it's still one of my all-time favorites.

    The recipe was inspired by David Lebovitz and his recipe for Strawberry Sorbet from his Perfect Scoop book - but tweaked a little to suit our tastes.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

      Hey Jennifer....I hope the other half is recovering well. These things happen for a reason (the holiday cancellation, not the leg break!) but you seem so positive about it. And I'm sure you will have a blast next year. Sorbet does indeed look cheerful 🙂

      I'm so sorry you had to cancel your trip. Luckily we have never had to cancel a trip but we have had to postpone our annual yearly holiday until next year. I hope your partner's break heals quickly, my hubby broke his foot playing XBOX kinect and it took forever to heal and he was moping the entire time - I should have made him a strawberry sorbet like this to cheer him up 🙂

        Thanks Chanel 🙂 Your poor hubby, isn't it amazing that a foot can be broken so easily. How along ago did your hubby do this? You wouldn't expect people to break their foot taking out the rubbish bin or playing Xbox Kinect would you? I am sure you consoled your hubby with something delicious though 😀

      This looks exceptionally good, I imagine you needed the vodka in it after having such a nightmare. I feel so disappointed for you. I hope your boyfriend recovers well. We booked our first overseas holiday a few years ago to Sri Lanka, a helping hands tour with nrma but it was cancelled due to hostilities over there. I was absolutely devastated. Fortunately a couple of years later we had the opportunity to live overseas for 6 months with my husbands job. You never know what the future holds 🙂

        Thanks Kayla. I'm so disappointed, but I'm thankful this didn't happen while we were away, that would have been horrible. I hope we get to go soon, meanwhile, I'm trying to cancel everything.

      Colour is amazing. What can be used instead of vodka, and how much of it would be required?

        Hi Nemo 🙂 You could skip the vodka altogether if you like, however the alcohol does help prevent the sorbet from freezing too hard. I use Vodka because it does not interfere with the final taste, but you could use whatever alcohol or liqueur you like.
