[Recipes Index] [World of Chefs]

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup caster sugar
• 3/4 cup water
• 4 cups strawberries, cleaned and halved
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 2 egg whites
• Whole strawberries and mint leaves for garnish

Preparation:

In a small saucepan over medium to high heat, combine the water and sugar and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside and let the mixture cool.

In a food processor, combine the strawberries and orange juice and process. Add the sugar syrup and lemon juice and blend.

Pour the sorbet mixture into a 13 by 9 inch pan and freeze for approximately one hour or until partly set. Place the mixture in a food processor fitted with a steel blade, add the egg whites and process until smooth.

Return the sorbet mixture to the pan and freeze until it is firm. Using a large spoon, scoop the sorbet into small serving dishes garnished with strawberries and mint leaves.
