Strawberry Citrus Sorbet


This fave combines different colored fruits (like strawberries and oranges), a key way to ensure a diversity of cancer-fighting phytonutrients. Plus just 1 serving provides nearly a third of your daily vitamin C.


Ingredients 

2/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup sliced strawberries
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel

Method: 

1. Combine the sugar in a saucepan with 1 cup of water and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until all sugar is dissolved and a simple syrup forms. Chill for 1 hour.
2. In a blender, puree the strawberries, orange juice, and orange peel until smooth. Gradually add the chilled syrup and blend well.
3. Pour the mixture into a glass dish and cover. Freeze for about 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. Blend again until smooth.
4. Serve immediately or cover and freeze for up to 3 days.
