Primary Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh peaches (about 6-8), peeled and cut into small chunks
- 2/3 cup sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- Freeze Peaches: Cut the fresh peaches into small chunks and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Freeze until solid, which takes about 2-3 hours, to prepare them for blending.
- Blend Ingredients: Transfer the frozen peaches to a heavy-duty food processor. Add the sugar and lemon juice. Pulse several times to break up the fruit, then blend continuously until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Pause occasionally to stir, press down, and scrape the sides for even blending.
- Season and Serve: Taste the sorbet and add a pinch of salt if desired. Serve immediately for a soft-serve texture, or proceed to the next step for a firmer consistency.
- Freeze for Firmer Texture: Transfer the blended sorbet to a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap. Freeze for at least 4 hours until firm. When ready to serve, let it soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes if too hard to scoop.
- Enjoy: Scoop and serve your refreshing peach sorbet, perfect as a light dessert or a cooling summer treat.
Notes
- Use a high-powered or heavy-duty food processor for the best and smoothest results.
- If the food processor gets warm or struggles to blend, pause and let it rest before continuing.
- Add a splash of water or milk (1 tablespoon at a time) if the mixture isn’t becoming smooth enough during blending.
- Cut peaches into small chunks before freezing to aid in easy and even blending.
- If the sorbet is too hard after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften for easier scooping.
