What’s your favorite summer fruit? We go strawberry picking in San Diego once a year and come home with a few pounds of strawberries, so it’s safe to say that is absolutely one of our favorites!

Needless to say, we had tons of strawberries at home and had to find something to do with them before we had to freeze them. Easy strawberry sorbet? Yes, please!

After we got strawberry wasted in the car on the ride home, we still had tons left! We did end up freezing some of them for smoothies, but we thought we would try making a fresh and delicious strawberry dessert.

Sweet summer strawberries with basil is such a great pairing. I’ve tried a version of strawberry balsamic & basil ice cream at one of our local shops that was really, really good. We thought a homemade strawberry sorbet with basil would be a good one to try!
