John often jokes that we're the only people who put more alcohol in our food than we drink. Which is just fine with me! When I was a kid in Naples, I used to get ice cream cups that were half strawberry and half lemon. In summer, when strawberries are at their best, Italians sprinkle them with a touch of sugar and a spritz of lemon. This continues to be one of my favorite flavor combinations - so, when I bought these gorgeous organic strawberries at the Farmers' Market yesterday, I created this refreshing sorbet.
Clean and quarter 3 pints fresh Strawberries.
Sprinkle with 1/3 cup sugar and 2 Tablespoons Limoncello.
Stir and set aside for about 20 minutes to allow flavors to combine.
Puree with an immersion blender.
Place a strainer over the frozen bowl of an ice cream maker, then press through to remove seeds.
Process for 20 - 30 minutes until frozen.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteThis is the easiest sorbet ever! I never used limoncello and strawberries, but and dying to try. I, too, can say I use more booze in my baking than my drinks. And I love it!
ReplyDeleteThose strawberries look gorgeous! That looks like a delicious way to use them, too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a plan to add the booze! the sorbet looks simply beautiful and so full of wonderful flavors!

Gorgeous looking sorbet, must be so refreshing! We are having quite a heatwave in England at the moment, this may be just we needed!:)
ReplyDeleteThis sorbet looks fabulous!! Limoncello and strawberries… oh my!!! I actually remember Italian ices, when I was young, that were half strawberry and half lemon. Very delicious!
ReplyDeleteI also use more booze in my cooking than in drinks! Which reminds me Susan, I just bought a bottle of Licor 43 and it’s everything you said it was!
I put more alcohol in my food than I drink too! :) Love this combination of flavors, what a pretty sorbet!
ReplyDeleteI have a habit of putting alcohol in my food, it just makes it so much better. What a refreshing dessert!
ReplyDeleteThat's simple - anytime someone mentions "immersion blender", I know the recipe is going to be just fine and relatively easy. My neighbors and I made our own Limoncello this Spring, as you probably remember, so I am collecting Limoncello recipes tried-and-true. This looks like a winner. Tasty and quick.
