Peach Sorbet Ingredients
- 800 g peeled and sliced ripe yellow peaches (fresh or frozen)
- 200 g caster sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Peel and slice fresh ripe yellow peaches or use thawed frozen peaches. Ensure the peaches are soft and ripe for the best flavor and texture.
- Make the Sugar Syrup: In a saucepan, combine the caster sugar with a small amount of water (about 100 ml) and heat gently until the sugar dissolves completely, forming a simple syrup. Allow it to cool completely before proceeding.
- Blend the Ingredients: Place the peeled and sliced peaches in a blender or food processor. Add the cooled sugar syrup and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Freeze the Mixture: Pour the blended peach mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Freeze for about 1 to 2 hours, until the edges start to freeze.
- Stir to Break Ice Crystals: Remove the container from the freezer and stir vigorously with a fork or whisk to break up ice crystals and create a smooth texture. Repeat this stirring every 30 minutes for 2 to 3 hours until the sorbet is firm but scoopable.
- Serve: Once fully frozen and smooth, scoop the sorbet into bowls or glasses and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and flavor. If peaches are less ripe, increase sugar slightly.
- The lemon juice balances sweetness and helps preserve the sorbet’s color.
- Adjust caster sugar based on the sweetness of the peaches and personal preference.
- If you have an ice cream maker, you can use it to churn the mixture for a smoother texture, but it is not necessary.
