This is the strawberry sorbet - excellent texture, scoops beautifully but tastes like ass so has been washed down the drain. I'm not sure what the faulty ingredient is. There was a sulfury smell and taste. I'm suspicious that my dextrose might be the responsible party but it doesn't taste off in the container. I've got a memory of a recipe I binned a while back that used dextrose though. 

 

I've never had off flavor from dextrose but certainly seems possible, my maltodextrin has a bit of an industrial flat/stale taste, nothing sulfury though

 

I am liking the pastes... wondering if anyone wants to try that in the Ninja?

What was your recipe? Did you use frozen strawberries? I find the strawberry sorbets sometimes taste this way when they are undersweetened or overdiluted (such as when I've used a particularly old batch of frozen strawberries). I've never had off flavor from dextrose but certainly seems possible, my maltodextrin has a bit of an industrial flat/stale taste, nothing sulfury though
