Ingredients
- 3 cups ripe strawberries, caps removed Add to list
- 1/3 cup sugar (or to taste, depending on ripeness of the berries) Add to list
- 2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice Add to list
- 1/4 cup rosé wine (optional) Add to list
- 1 tablespoon chopped candied ginger Add to list
- 5 to 6 fresh mint leaves Add to list
Preparation
Place the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and rosé (if using) in a food processor and puree well. Taste your mixture and adjust the flavors. If it is too tart, add a little sugar. If it is too sweet, add a little lemon juice.
Place the mixture in a shallow casserole dish and freeze until almost firm, but still a little slushy. Transfer to a food processor, add the ginger and mint, and blend until smooth. Place back in the casserole dish and freeze until almost firm once more. Give it another go-round in the food processor and then freeze until firm.
Serve garnished with sprigs of mint, a few strips of candied ginger and a small slice of juicy lemon. (Oh and perhaps a local blossom or two!)
