Strawberry Mint Sorbet is simple to make at home, refreshing, and the perfect way to celebrate summer dining.

I love to entertain and host dinner parties for family and friends, whether it’s a casual backyard BBQ or formal sit down dinner, sharing a meal together is the highlight of the gathering. It always gives an opportunity to reconnect, laugh, and even sometimes cry together.

Today, I’m joining 15 other bloggers and Wayfair in a 15 day/15 Course Dining Event! My assigned course was the “Intermezzo” which some of you maybe wonder what that is, exactly ?! It’s a popular course in European Dining which is usually small, light, and refreshing to help cleanse the palate between courses.

Strawberry Mint Sorbet on www.cookingwithruthie.com is a simple summertime treat!

Whether you use this Strawberry Mint Sorbet for an Intermezzo or as a Dessert for your next dinner party~ all your friends and family will be loving it’s light and refreshing flavor.

I think this recipe is just wonderful because it doesn’t require churning during the freezing process, all you have to do is use a couple of forks to scrape and break it up about every 30 minutes until it’s completely frozen, and then cover it. It can even be made a few days in advance so it’s right ready to go.
