Nourishing & Straightforward Strawberry Sorbet
I made it back, safe and relatively sound, from my trip to California. My husband and I are photographic proof of the eponymous red-eye flight we took back. I worth keeping been out of my mind (entirely possible) when I booked it; but I think one more night of semi-rest and we will be back to our “normal” selves (ha-ha).
I found it very difficult to leave California, for so many reasons. But for starters…my family…the cool weather…the food…Peet’s coffee…laid back vibe…the culture…the ocean…the mountains…the wine country…oh good grief, now I’m weeping…).
But it’s still good to be “home” in Texas, and I am giving thanks for small things, including the fact that the temperature has, for the time being, dipped below 100 degrees.
And I am undeniably happy to be back in my own kitchen, with all of its familiar trappings. To mark my return, I am making a plain treat with the gorgeous strawberries I picked up from the market. Say hello to my straightforward, nourishing,2-Ingredient Strawberry Sorbet!

Ingredients
The exact amounts of each ingredient are indicated in the recipe card at the end of the post.Toggle betweenUS Customary(volume) andMetric(weights) for preferred measurement option.
- Fresh strawberries
- Maple syrup
Step by Step Instructions
Note that the complete instructions are also in the recipe card below.
- To make the sorbet, first wash, hull, and slice your strawberries.
- Spread on a large cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (so that they will not stick) and freeze for 1 hour until the berries are firm, but not rock hard (frozen solid).
- Place the strawberries along with some maple syrup (I like to add a pinch of salt, too) to a food processor or high speed blender and process until creamy and smooth. That’s it!
Enjoy as Soft Serve or Freeze until Firm
My 4-year-old can attest that this sorbet is perfection straight from the food processor (much like soft serve ice cream; reliable eaten from a dish, not a cone). But if you want beautiful scoops, pack the sorbet in a freezer safe container and free for at least 1 hour until very firm.

Use Other Berries or Fruits in Place of Strawberries
With so many gorgeous berries and fruits to choose from at the end of summer, you can go sorbet-crazy, using just about any fruit, or combination of fruits, in place of the strawberries in the recipe.
I’m hoping to convince my husband of a month of sorbet dinners. It sounds perfectly reasonable to me :);
Enjoy this sweet and lovely recipe and savor the last weeks of summer!
