Strawberry-Orange Fruit Sorbet

1 lb. (3 cups) strawberries
1 1/2 cups orange juice, divided
1/2 cup lemon juice, divided
2 cups sugar, divided

Wash strawberries, remove tops, and cut in half. Place half the strawberries, 3/4 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1 cup sugar in blender; blend at high speed until smooth. Pour mixture into 9x9-inch pan. Set aside. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cover pan with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and place in freezer until partially frozen, about 4 hours. Spoon mixture into large bowl and, using hand mixer at medium speed, blend until smooth but still frozen. Return mixture to pan. Cover and freeze until firm. To serve, let mixture stand at room temperature 10 minutes for easy scooping. Store in freezer.
