Recipe - Champagne Sorbet With Wild Strawberries

2 One half cup Champagne
1 Three fourths cup Granulated sugar
2 cup Water
One fourth cup Lemon juice
One fourth cup Orange juice
Three fourths cup Wild strawberries
OR strawberry slices

Bring threequarters of the champagne to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from
heat and let cool.

Combine the sugar and water in a pan and stir to dissolve sugar. Bring
mixture to a boil, and let cook 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until
syrup forms a thread when pulled between your thumb and forefinger. Remove
from heat immediately.

Stir champagne and fruit juices into the sugar syrup; cool.

Freeze mixture in a plastic container until hard, several hours or
overnight.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat sorbet until smooth. Return sorbet
to freezer until firm.

Serve scoops of sorbet on chilled plates or in glasses, garnished with wild
strawberries or strawberry slices.
