Equipment
- Bowl
- Container
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh strawberries washed, hulled and sliced
- 3 tbsp sugar
- ½ cup water
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ¼ tsp balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Stir together sugar and strawberries and then leave them for an hour! (this is when the magic happens!! You can leave them for longer if you like.
- Add them plus the other ingredients to a blender and puree.
- You can strain it now if you don't like seeds, but they don't bother me.
- Pour the mixture into a 9 × 13-inch pan or you can use any container. I use a plastic container.
- Put in the freezer.
- After 30 minutes, take it out and stir with a fork, breaking up the ice crystals.
- Repeat this step about every 30 minutes for about 2 hours.
- Serve immediately or wait a few more hours.
- If it freezes up completely, then you can let it thaw slightly and put in a blender.
Notes
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (you can adjust this to taste)
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for extra flavor)
