Unable to find the perfect sorbet recipe, I made my own. This sweet, soft strawberry sorbet rivals any brand in the grocery store. Most homemade sorbets resemble an icy slushie, but this one is thickened before freezing, yielding a melt-in-your-mouth treat that will please even the pickiest sorbet lover. It's dually great because it can be made in an ice cream machine or your regular freezer.
