Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 800 g peeled and sliced ripe yellow peaches (fresh or frozen)
Sweetener
- 200 g caster sugar (adjust to taste)
Citrus
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (add gradually to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches: Peel and slice each peach into 8 slices, ensuring they are ready for processing.
- Process with sugar: Place the peach slices in a food processor bowl along with the caster sugar and process until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary to incorporate all the fruit evenly.
- Add lemon juice: Gradually add lemon juice to the peach puree, tasting as you go to reach your desired level of brightness and acidity.
- Freeze the sorbet: Transfer the peach puree to a freezer-safe container and freeze for 6-7 hours or until the sorbet is firm and scoopable.
Notes
- You can adjust the caster sugar amount depending on the sweetness of your peaches or your personal preference.
- Using frozen peaches works well if fresh peaches are out of season.
- For a softer texture, take the sorbet out of the freezer for 10-15 minutes before serving.
- To enhance flavor, you can add a splash of peach schnapps or a pinch of ground ginger if desired.
- Ensure the puree is well blended for the smoothest texture before freezing.
