Very easy and very good!!! Great in the summer. From http://whatscookingamerica.net/SorbetStrawberry.htm

Ingredients

1	cup sugar
1	cup water
2	pints fresh ripe strawberries
2	tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3	tablespoons vodka

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until mixture comes to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand approximately 10 minutes.
   
   
2. Lightly rinse and dry the strawberries; hull and cut in halves. In a food processor or blender, puree the strawberries with 1/4 cup of the sugar syrup.
   
   
3. Add lemon juice, vodka, and pureed strawberries to the remaining sugar syrup; stir until thoroughly blended.
   
   
4. NOTE: The vodka (or any other type of alcohol) is the secret to a soft sorbet. Alcohol itself does not freeze and adding a little bit keeps the sorbet from doing the same. Vodka is excellent to use because it doesn't affect the taste.
   
   
5. Ice Cream Maker - Transfer mixture to ice cream maker, process according to manufacturer's instructions.
   
   
6. Freezer Method - Pour into container, cover, and place mixture in the freezer. When it is semi-solid, mash it up with a fork and refreeze again. When frozen, place in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Cover and refreeze until serving time.
   
   
7. NOTE: Can be prepared 3 days in advance. Cover and keep frozen.
   
   
8. Makes about 10 2/3-cup servings
