Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound ripe strawberries
4 ounces sugar
1 tablespoon orange juice -- freshly squeezed
1 good pinch orange zest -- finely grated
1/2 pint (just under) creamy yoghurt -- strained
1 spoonful Framboise -- optional

Whizz to a smooth pink puree strawberries, sugar, orange juice and orange zest.
Either mix the cold puree with yoghurt (or creme fraiche for richer results)
and
freeze-churn it in an ice-cream-making machine. Or (manual method) freeze the
puree until solid, then whizz it in a food processor until slushy, fold in the
yoghurt or creme fraiche as delicately as possible and freeze again. Beat after
1 1/2 hour to aerate the mixture and refreeze. "Ripen" briefly in the fridge
before serving as is or with a spoonful of Framboise drizzled over for a
flavoursome finishing touch.

NOTES : This will fill 9 - 10 small (3 fl oz) pots or it can be scooped into
small glasses. I serve it scattered with fresh raspberries and/or wild
strawberries, on plates strewn with strawberry leaves and flowers.
