Tuesday, August 6, 2013 at 7:21PM FRESH STRAWBERRY SORBET
I simply am in love with ice cream and frozen treats of any kind, especially in the summer when fruit is juicy and ripe. Strawberry sorbet is so easy and so refreshing. Use this recipe to make sorbet with fresh berries of any kind. If you use raspberries or blueberries, exchange the lime juice for lemon juice. Happy spinning!
