What each ingredient does
- Strawberries
- Provide the main flavour and the fruit base that gives the ice its body and colour.
- Sugar
- Sweetens the mixture and draws juice out of the crushed strawberries while it stands.
The step that matters
Letting the sugar draw out the juice. Standing the crushed fruit with sugar lets the sugar pull liquid out of the strawberry cells, creating syrup. Skipping or shortening this rest leaves the mixture thin and less sweet, and the fruit's flavour is not fully extracted before straining.
