Bring the sugar and water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce the heat and simmer without
stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.
Combine the strawberries and lemon juice in a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse to
chop the strawberries, about 15 – 20 times, then process until the strawberries are completely puréed,
1 – 2 minutes. Press the strawberry purée through a fine mesh strainer (chinois) to remove seeds.
Combine the seedless strawberry purée with the cooled sugar syrup and corn syrup. Chill for 1 hour.
Turn the machine ON, pour strawberry purée mixture into freezer bowl through ingredient spout and
mix until thickened, about 25 – 30 minutes. The sorbet will have a “soft serve” texture. If desired,
transfer the strawberry sorbet to an airtight container and place in freezer until firm, about 2 hours to
“ripen.”
