Strawberry sorbet

I went to the allotment yesterday with Maya; my oldest friends lovely daughter who has been visiting us. We picked two and a half kilos of strawberries... yum, yum!



 and some black currents. So, what to do with them?
We planed to make some blackcurrant cordial, http://www.britishlarder.co.uk/home-made-blackcurrant-cordial/#axzz2YANRjAjL  (I made some lovely elderflower cordial last week. http://britishfood.about.com/od/recipeindex/r/efowercordial.htm - but without the citric acid, because everywhere had run out.) But, first the strawberry's.

 So, freeze some of them, you put them individually on a baking tray in the freezer for a bit, then put the frozen berry's into a bag and store them in the freezer.
Then the strawberry sorbet. I found a recipie at  http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/6550/strawberry-sorbet

500 grams strawberries
250 grams sugar
250 mls water
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 egg white.
It worked perfectly... yum yum

Thank goodness we went again today to picked some more and do some weeding of course.
