   This simple little Turkish ice can be served as a dessert or as a
   palate-cleansing between-courses Sorbet. You don't need an ice-cream
   machine to make it.
   
   In a saucepan, make a syrup with 2 cups water and 1 cup sugar. Stir
   over heat until the sugar dissolves, then add the juice of half a
   lemon and boil the syrup vigorously for 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
   
   In a food processor, puree 3 punnets of hulled, strawberries with
   quarter of a cup of milk and a couple of drops of red food colouring.
   Combine puree with the syrup and pour into a narrow rectangular cake
   tin or a freezer tray and freeze.
   
   To serve, break up the strawberry ice with a fork and spoon it into
   chilled dishes or glasses.  Serve immediately.
   
   Makes 6 servings.
