Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups ripe peaches (fresh or frozen), peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1/2 cup sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Optional: fresh herbs like mint or basil for garnish or infusion
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Peel, pit, and slice fresh peaches or thaw frozen peaches completely. Cut them into smaller chunks to facilitate smooth blending and a creamy texture.
- Make the Simple Syrup: Combine sugar (or honey) and water in a saucepan. Heat over medium until sugar fully dissolves. Remove from heat and let syrup cool completely before use.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the prepared peaches, cooled simple syrup, and fresh lemon juice. Blend until completely smooth, creating the sorbet base.
- Freeze the Mixture: Pour the peach mixture into a shallow airtight container. Place it in the freezer and stir every 30 minutes for the first two hours to break up ice crystals and maintain a smooth texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the sorbet reaches firm but scoopable consistency, serve immediately in bowls, cones, or creative presentations as desired.
Notes
- Select perfectly ripe peaches for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Use filtered water to ensure pure tasting sorbet.
- Chill all ingredients before blending and freezing to minimize ice crystals.
- Stir the sorbet every 30 minutes during freezing to maintain a silky texture.
- Adjust sweetness after blending by adding syrup or honey slowly to achieve your preferred taste.
