strawberry lemon sorbet for when the heat index is 116

I finally got lemons and strawberries in the same place for sorbet.  This tastes more like I would think a strawberry lemonade would taste like, that is if I were to drink one.  I am not a big lemonade fan so I have to do mine other ways.  This is one.

Strawberry Lemon Sorbet

1 cup water

1 cup sugar

juice of three lemons

10 ounces frozen strawberries

In a medium saucepan, put the water and sugar.  Bring to a boil and boil one minute. 

Put the strawberries in a blender conatiner.  Pour the sugar syrup over and blend for about 1 minute.  Pour in th lemon juice, and blend for about 10 seconds more.

Freeze in your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer's instructions or put in a large freezer proof container and stir every couple hours until almost solid.

This is very refreshing.  Especially when the heat index hits 116, 114, or 112.  Welcome to my current life!
