Your Jr. Chef can make a Sensational Strawberry Sorbet

After puréeing hulled berries with preserves (for sweetness and flavor), salt and lemon juice, freeze in a shallow pan, and re-process to smooth and creamy. Serve plain or with rich vanilla ice cream. Comments suggest starting with frozen berries (rasp, blue, straw) or cherries, adding full-fat yogurt or coconut cream + sweetener (soft-serve style), reducing/eliminating water gives a more intense taste. Parental supervision.
