2 cups sugar 2 cups water 4 pints strawberries, hulled and sliced 1/4 cup fresh lime juice 1/2 cup light corn syrup

Bring the sugar and 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and allow the mixture to simmer, without stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool completely. Put the strawberries and lime juice into a food processor and puree. Press the strawberry puree through a strainer to remove the seeds.

When the sugar syrup has cooled completely add it to the strawberry puree. Add the corn syrup and stir well. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions. Sorbet is particularly soft after churning but firms up after freezing.

Read the text Sorbet (pronounced Sor-BAY) is French for sherbet

and is made from fresh fruit (juices/purees), sugar, water and sometimes lemon/lime juice. Do not confuse 'sorbet' with 'sherbet' which contain milk or cream, and sometimes eggs. Sorbets became very popular in the 19th and early 20th century when they were served as a palate cleanser between courses (called Intermezzo which means "in between the work"). Today they are sometimes served between courses but, more often than not, are served for dessert.
