  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      lb            Ripe strawberries
   4      oz            Sugar
   1      tb            Orange juice -- freshly squeezed
   1      pn            Orange zest -- finely grated,
                        - generous
   1      c             Strained creamy yoghurt -- scant
   1                    Spoon 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 whiz
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 to 10 small (3 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.
