Classic Strawberry

• 250g caster sugar
• 500g strawberries (a few extra to garnish)
• 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 egg white

1. Simmer the sugar in a saucepan with 250ml water for 2 minutes. Leave to cool.
2. Blend the strawberries in a food processor and sieve the mix (it may need a good push!)
3. Stir in the sugar and water mixture and vinegar.
4. Ice cream machine method: Softly whisk the egg white and add to the mixture before churning into the machine according the manufacturer's instructions. Once done, store in the freezer until frozen.
5. Freezer method: Whisk the egg white and add to the mixture. Place the mixture in a freezer-safe container and freeze until the mix is almost set - check after 2-3 hours. Mash and break up with a fork then place it into the food processor with the egg white then blend it to a slush consistency. Put this mixture back into the container then freeze.
6. Once frozen, serve up garnished with a few extra strawberries.
