It's a sorbet day

Happy Mother's Day to all Mums.
Sunshine!
It's a beautiful day today - warm and sunny but typically muggy with 84% humidity. Definitely a day to spend some time outdoors and for something cool and refreshing.

Recently, I have noticed that there are lots of strawberries from Korea rather than the USA or Australia. At the supermarket today,the strawberries were looking luscious and fresh. Nice! So I thought, what a great reason to make a batch of refreshing strawberry sorbet. It is so easy to make, healthy and completely additives free. Here's my recipe, I hope some of you will try it. Its a favourite with my children and it's a very easy way to get them to eat a lot of fruit without even trying.
