Peach Sorbet Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh peaches (about 6-8), peeled
- 2/3 cup sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Freeze Peaches: Cut the fresh peaches into small chunks and arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze until solid, about 2-3 hours.
- Blend Ingredients: Transfer the frozen peaches to a heavy-duty food processor. Add the sugar and lemon juice, and pulse a few times to break up the fruit. Then, blend until creamy and smooth. Pause to stir, press down, and scrape the sides as needed for even blending.
- Season and Serve: Taste the sorbet and add salt if needed. Serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency or transfer to a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up.
- Enjoy: Scoop the sorbet and enjoy this light and refreshing treat.
Notes
- To peel peaches easily, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water; the skins will slip off easily.
- If you prefer a sweeter sorbet, adjust sugar to taste.
- For a smoother texture, blend thoroughly, scraping sides of the processor bowl.
- Serve sorbet immediately for a soft-serve texture or freeze longer for a scoopable consistency.
