Strawberry sorbetStrawberry sorbet

Makes 4 to 6 lollies

Ingredients

  • 50g caster sugar
  • 60ml water
  • 250g strawberries, hulled and cut in half
  • 1 x medium orange, squeezed

Method

  • Put the sugar and water into a saucepan and boil for 3 to 4 minutes until it’s like syrup. Allow to cool.
  • Puree the strawberries then sieve them to get rid of the seeds. Combine the strawberry puree, syrup and orange juice then pour the mixture into ice-lolly moulds. Freeze until solid.

Tips

It's easy to make your own ice lollies using fresh fruit and fresh fruit juice. You can also make two colour lollies, using half strawberry sorbet and half fresh squeezed orange juice. Sweeten the orange juice with a little sugar as freezing will dilute the taste a little.
