Summer Strawberry Sorbet!

Last night was our monthly book club and it is always hard to think of a yummy and healthy dessert that can please a crowd. (Did I mention a crowd with two expecting mommies!?! ) Make that yummy, healthy, and easy....but this Summer Strawberry Sorbet is the perfect solution, containing the trifecta of adjectives.  I really cannot think of any other recipe that was as simple and as equally delicious as this. I made mine in my Cuisinart countertop Ice Cream Maker , but you could also double this recipe and make it in a traditional ice cream maker.  Whatever you like!  I hope you enjoy, and also, I hope you will forgive me for not taking a picture of the final product...I passed the sorbet out to my bookclub while we discussed and completely forgot--also, there wasn't any left! Looks like I pleased the crowd, expectant mommies included :) ENJOY!!

Start with just THREE ingredients....

 In a pan over medium heat add 1cup of White Sugar.....

 And 1 cup of water.......Heat until sugar is dissolved...now you have a simple syrup

 Chop 2lbs of fresh strawberries (thawed frozen strawberries would work too)

 Puree your strawberries in a blender or food processor until you get this consistency......

 Add your puree to your simple syrup and stir.

 Heat over stove for five minutes until well combined.

 Transfer mixutre to a pan to cool.  Put in Freezer and let cool for approx 30 minutes.

 Once completely cooled, add to your icecream maker and let freezer for around 30-45 minutes or until it is your desired consistency. I like mine to be thick! YUM!!
