Homemade Strawberry Sherbet

"Made with fresh strawberries, this Homemade Strawberry Sherbet is delightful on a warm summer day! In true sherbet fashion, this recipe calls for a blend of juice, sugar and milkfat. Strawberry juice isn’t very common, so I opted to make my own at home – it’s super easy! I chopped up 1 cup of fresh berries and mixed them with sugar. After they rested for ~10 minutes, I used a mini-chopper to blend them into a liquid. From there, I added a bit of buttermilk and half-and-half. *done* (Well, I added a splash of lemon juice to balance the sweetness of the strawberries along with a tiny bit of vanilla extract for flavor.) This Homemade Strawberry Sherbet recipe is super easy, and it's perfect for warm summer evenings!"
