Strawberry-Guava-Pisco Sorbet

This was my first try at making sorbet. It turned out fairly well.

You'll need:
1 pint strawberries, washed and hulled
about 1 cup of guava nectar
2 c. sugar
2 c. water
1 shot pisco

Mash the strawberries and put them into a 2-c. measuring cup. Add enough guava nectar to bring the level to 2 c. Puree in a blender, then strain into a small bowl. Add the pisco and stir. Chill.

Heat the sugar and water over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a simmer. Let bubble for 5 minutes (no need to stir). Pour into a measuring cup and cool completely.

Add the syrup to the puree and stir well. Pour into your ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's directions.

I decorated each serving with a strawberry that I'd dipped in pisco and then rolled in sugar.
