How to Make Strawberry Balsamic Sorbet

Combine 1 pound fresh strawberries, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, and 1/4 cup water in a blender or food processor.
Blend until completely smooth.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds (optional, but recommended for a smoother sorbet).
Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container.
Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until partially frozen.
Using a fork or ice cream scoop, break up the partially frozen mixture and transfer to the food processor.
Process for 1-2 minutes until the sorbet is smooth and creamy.
Return the sorbet to the freezer for at least another 2 hours, or until completely frozen.
Serve immediately or let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
