INGREDIENTS

500 g/1 lb strawberries
4 tablespoons orange juice
150 g/5 oz caster sugar
4 tablespoons water
mint sprigs, to decorate

Strawberry Water Ice

Press the strawberries through a sieve, using a wooden spoon, reserving 4 whole ones for decoration. Stir in the orange juice.

Gently heat the sugar and water, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Boil for 5 minutes, until syrupy. Cool, then stir into the strawberry

pulp. Pour the strawberry mixture into a shallow container and freeze for 3-4 hours, until firm. Transfer the water ice to the refrigerator 30

minutes before serving.

Slice the reserved strawberries in half lengthways. Serve the water ice in scoops decorated with the reserved strawberries and mint sprigs.
