Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh peaches (about 6-8), peeled
- 2/3 cup sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Freeze Peaches: Chop the peeled peaches and spread them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the sheet in the freezer and freeze the peach pieces for 2-3 hours until they are completely solid.
- Blend Ingredients: Transfer the frozen peaches to a food processor. Add the sugar and lemon juice. Blend the mixture until it becomes creamy and smooth, resembling the texture of soft sorbet.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the sorbet mixture and add a pinch of salt if desired to balance the sweetness and enhance the flavors.
- Serve or Freeze: You can serve the sorbet immediately for a soft-serve texture or transfer it to a loaf pan and freeze for at least 4 hours if you prefer a firmer consistency. Scoop and serve once fully frozen.
Notes
- Peel peaches for a smoother texture, but you can leave skins on if you prefer more texture and fiber.
- Adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of your peaches.
- For added flavor, you can add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon during blending.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
