The fresh strawberry season is just about over, but if you socked some away in the freezer you can continue to enjoy them. The basic idea here is from Mark Bittman.
2 pints frozen strawberries
1/4 cup sugar, or to taste
Water as needed (optional)
Let the strawberries thaw at room temperature for 15 minutes or so, then process in the food processor until smooth. Add sugar and, if desired, water (for a softer consistency). When smooth, either serve immediately or transfer to a sealed container in the freezer. If you put it in the freezer, run it through the food processor again before serving.
Serves 4.
Variations: You can add all sorts of things to the basic recipe. Some options:
1. a few drops (up to 1/8 tsp) orange extract
2. up to 1/2 tsp almond extract
3. a splash of triple sec or rum
4. juice instead of water
5. a little grated fresh ginger
