Strawberry Gelati, Italian style
2¼lb fresh strawberries
/9oz icing sugar
4floz lemon (juice of approx. two large lemons)
• Crush the strawberries and rub through a sieve to extract the seeds.
• Stir in the lemon juice then whisk in the icing sugar.
• Pour into your machine and churn until frozen, or make granita style if you don’t have a machine.
• If you don’t have a machine, an easy way to make sorbets is to freeze your sweetened fruit pulp solid in a tray, and scratch it up into frosty shards with a strong fork just before serving.
• This is what Italians would call a “granita”.
• The texture is a little more crunchy than a sorbet, but still wonderful.
