Spring Strawberry Guava Sorbet











Yum. That's all I gotta say about this incredible creation. Now I am on the west coast at the moment where the Spring produce at the Farmers Market is in full gorgeousness so please forgive me if you are reading this and are on the east coast and do not have these fruits at your local market...BUT if you are lucky enough to have them or be on the west coast do yourself a favor and get your ass to the Farmers Market and buy some organic Strawberries and Guavas straight from your trusted organic farmer. You and your guests will thank me. Period. This is sooooooooooo easy and delicious you may wanna jump back and kiss yaself!

3 boxes of fresh Strawberries, washed and stemmed

1 box of fresh Guavas, washed and peeled

pinch of Sea Salt

2/3 cup agave

1 TB Vodka (yes I said Vodka -- it helps with the freezing and the texture!)

1 TB real Vanilla extract

1/2 cup unsweetend soymilk or organic cream if you can

Juice of half a meyer lemon (you can use a regular lemon if you can't find the meyer)

Put everything in a high speed blender. Blend for about a minute. Strain the mixture through a fine strainer into a pitcher. Discard the little seeds in the strainer. Put pitcher into refrigerator and chill at least a few hours or overnight.

Make sure to put the glass container you will be using to put the Sorbet in, in the freezer. Pour the chilled mixture into your Ice Cream maker, turn it on and let it do it's thang. Check it from time to time. It will be done in about 20 minutes. When it's done, take out the chilled glass container from the freezer and transfer the sorbet. Cover and freeze for a few hours.
