Ingredients

• ½ cup white sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• ½ cup water
• ½ teaspoon lemon extract
• ½ cup diced fresh strawberries
• 2 cups orange juice with pulp

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pour water and sugar into a medium saucepan over medium heat to make simple syrup. Stir occasionally until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil for 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, about 30 minutes.

Step 2

Add strawberries and sugar syrup to a blender and blend until smooth. Leave a few chunks of strawberries if you like. Add orange juice, lemon extract, and salt and give it a swirl. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours; this helps it freeze in the ice cream maker quickly as it has a lot of water.

Step 3

Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 8 hours to overnight.

Step 4

Scoop sorbet and serve.
