• Add strawberries and sugar syrup to a blender and blend until smooth. Leave a few chunks of strawberries if you like. Add orange juice, lemon extract, and salt and give it a swirl. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours; this helps it freeze in the ice cream maker quickly as it has a lot of water.
• Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions, about 20 minutes. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for 8 hours to overnight.
• Scoop sorbet and serve.
