 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    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.
