This refreshing summer sorbet, inspired by a dessert from the River Café in London, blends the sweetness of strawberries with the vibrant tartness of lemon. The recipe calls for a whole lemon (rind included), which enhances the overall flavor balance beautifully.
Prepare Lemon and Sugar: In a food processor, combine the chopped lemon and sugar. Pulse until the mixture is well combined, then transfer to a bowl.
Purée Strawberries: In the same food processor, purée the hulled strawberries. Add the strawberry purée to the lemon-sugar mixture along with the juice of 1 lemon. Taste and adjust the lemon juice, adding more if you prefer a more pronounced tartness.
Churn: Pour the mixture into an ice cream machine and churn until it reaches a sorbet consistency.
