Yet another favorite in our house that I had forgotten about!  I was making baby food today and found some strawberries in our freezer and decided to make sorbet out of them.  SOOO good and a yummy treat! 
2/3 c water
2/3 c sugar
5 c (or 2lbs) of fresh or thawed UNSWEETENED strawberries
Place sugar & water in sauce pan over low heat cooking for 3-5 min or until sugar has dissolved.  Boil for one minute and then remove from heat.  Cool completely in a heatproof container (about an hour in the fridge).  While this is cooling puree your strawberries and then transfer to a large bowl and chill. 
When both your sugar mixture & strawberries are chilled combine in a small container ~stainless or glass work best ~ and cover.  Let freeze completely ~ 3 to 4 hours ~ and then let it stand at room temp until partially thawed. 
Tranfer partially thawed sorbet to a food processor and process to break up large ice crystals & chunks that have formed.  This is what makes your sorbet light & fluffy!  Place sorbet back into a pan/container and freeze for three hours or up to several days.  Covered I've had a double batch last over a week (simply because I should have never made a double batch!!).  Serves 6-8.
