Ingredients

1	red bell pepper, seeded, peeled, chopped
300 g	strawberries
	juice of 1/2 lemon
130 g	granulated sugar
225 ml	water

Instructions

Combine all ingredients, except the sugar, in a blender and pulse until smooth. Keep to one side.

Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Pour the warm syrup into the strawberry mixture and stir for about a minute.

Place the sorbet mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze following the manufacturer’s instructions.

If you do not have an ice cream maker, place the mixture in a freezer-proof dish and freeze for one hour. Then remove and whisk to break up the ice granules. Return to the freezer and repeat at least two more times. Then freeze until ready to serve. Remove from the freezer a few minutes before serving to allow the sorbet to soften a little.

Makes about 16 canapés or serves 4 as a dessert. To make canapés, serve scoops of the sorbet on mini shortbreads.
