I got a bunch of strawberries, limes, and basil in my Trader Joe's pickup this week (I pickup food for a local food pantry and they let me keep some for myself). It's been pretty hot here in Boston lately, and I've got book group coming up on sunday, so I figured I'd bust out the ice cream maker and whip up some sorbet.
1 1/2 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
1 bunch basil divided
4 cups strawberries, hulled and chopped
1/2 cup lime juice
zest of 1 lime
combine water, sugar and half of the basil in a saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves. let it sit until the liquid cools
once the liquid cools, put the strawberries, lime juice, lime zest, and the other half of the basil cut into small strips (aka chiffonade) into a blender and puree. Cool the mixture and then follow your ice cream maker's directions.
