Ingredients

for 4 person

100 g sugar
500 g strawberries, cut into pieces
3 dl water
1 tbsp thyme leaf, finely chopped
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp water
4 sprig thyme

How it's done

Bring the sugar, strawberries and water to the boil, simmer for approx. 10 mins., puree, add the thyme.

Freeze the sorbet mixture for approx. 1 hr. Remove the bowl from the freezer, beat the sorbet vigorously with a whisk. Repeat this step 3 times after each additional hour so the sorbet freezes evenly. Remove the sorbet, beat until smooth using the whisk on a hand mixer, freeze for a further 30 mins.

Boil the sugar, water and thyme in a wide-bottomed pan without stirring. Reduce the heat and simmer, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar darkens to a hazelnut-brown caramel. Leave the thyme to cool on a sheet of baking paper. Shape the sorbet into balls and decorate with the thyme.
