Strawberry sorbet



Ingredients

* 250g caster sugar
* 500g strawberries hulled, plus a few to garnish
* 2 tsp balsamic vinegar , good quality
* 1 egg white

Method

1. Put the sugar in a saucepan with 250ml water, bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Cool completely.

2. Whizz the strawberries in a food processor and push the mix through a fine sieve. Stir in the sugar syrup and vinegar.

3. If you are using an ice-cream machine, lightly whisk the egg white and add it to the strawberry mixture before churning the whole lot. Then put into a freezer box and freeze until ready to serve.

4. If you are using your freezer, tip the strawberry mix into a freezer box and freeze until it is almost set (check after 3 hours). Then break it up with a fork and tip it into a food processor, along with the egg white, and whizz it into an icy slush. Tip the mix back into a freezer box and refreeze.

5. Serve scoops garnished with a few fresh strawberries.
