Ingredients
- 4 large ripe peaches, peeled and pitted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup water
- Mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
- Begin by peeling and pitting the peaches. Cut them into chunky pieces for easier blending.
- In a blender, combine the peach chunks, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water. Blend until the mixture is smooth and the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Pour the peach mixture into a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps to intensify the flavors and dissolve any remaining sugar particles. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, transfer the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes.
- After churning, transfer the sorbet into a lidded container and freeze for at least 3 hours or until firm.
- Scoop the sorbet into bowls and garnish with fresh peach slices and mint leaves before serving.
- Enjoy the refreshing taste of your homemade Peach Paradise Sorbet!
Helpful Tips
- If you don’t have an ice cream maker, you can pour the mixture into a shallow container and freeze it. Stir every 30 minutes until it reaches a sorbet consistency.
- For a creamier texture, consider adding a tablespoon of light corn syrup or honey.
- Make sure your peaches are very ripe for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. To avoid ice crystals, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the sorbet before sealing the container.
Ingredient Substitutions
If fresh peaches are not available, frozen peaches will work just as well. Thaw them before using. You can also substitute lemon juice with lime juice for a different flavor twist.
Pairings
This Peach Paradise Sorbet pairs beautifully with a variety of desserts. Serve it alongside a slice of warm peach pie or atop a bed of fresh berries. For a delightful adult treat, serve it with a glass of sparkling water or prosecco.
