Don’t leave the peppercorns out of this recipe. As unusual as it sounds, they give the sorbet an added kick.
Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. Stir in peppercorns; let stand 20 Minutes.

Place half of sugar syrup, half of sliced strawberries, half the liquor and fresh lemon juice in a blender, and process until smooth. Pour pureed mixture into a bowl. Repeat the procedure with remaining sugar syrup and sliced strawberries and liquor.
