Strawberry Crush Recipes for Strawberry Sherbat

Ingredients:

40 ounces of strawberries frozen in light syrup
8 teaspoons of corn starch
½ cup sugar
2 teaspoons of lemon peel
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
3 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 cans of evaporated milk, fat free about 12 ounces
Fresh strawberries halved for garnish (optional)

Juicy Strawberry Crush Method:

1. Thaw the frozen strawberries thoroughly before proceeding with the method. Stir the sugar, lemon peel and corn starch in a small sauce pan. As the sugar melts add the evaporated milk. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until the mixture turns thick and bubbly. Cook for 2 more minutes and add vanilla extract at this stage. Stir for few seconds and remove from the heat. Transfer the contents to a bowl and cover it with cling film. Place the covered bowl in the refrigerator to chill for up to an hour or till it is completely chilled.
2. Combine lemon juice with strawberries in light syrup in a food processor or blender. Cover the processor or blender and process or blend to get a smooth paste. Remove the milk mixture bowl from the fridge. Stir this strawberry paste in the chilled milk mixture. Pour the mixture in a 2 quarts ice cream freezer and freeze in the refrigerator according to the manufacturer’s direction. Now pack this mixture in a freezer container and cover it. Freeze it until firm, for approximately 3 hours.
3. As the contents are firm scoop the chilled sherbet in serving bowls and serve chilled. If desired, serve the sherbet with fresh halved strawberries. This recipe makes 2 serving.
