Ingredients

4 cups fresh peaches (about 6-8), peeled
2⁄3 cup sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Cut the fresh peaches into small chunks and arrange them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze until solid, about 2-3 hours.
Step 2: Transfer the frozen peaches to a heavy-duty food processor. Add the sugar and lemon juice, and pulse a few times to break up the fruit. Then, blend until creamy and smooth. Pause to stir, press down, and scrape the sides as needed for even blending.
Step 3: Taste the sorbet and add a pinch of salt if needed. Serve immediately for a soft-serve consistency, or transfer the mixture to a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours for a firmer texture.
Step 4: Serve and enjoy your homemade peach sorbet!

Tips & Variations

Use a high-powered food processor for the best results. If your machine gets warm or struggles, pause and let it rest before continuing.
Add a splash of water or milk (about 1 tablespoon at a time) if the fruit isn’t blending smoothly until the mixture becomes creamy.
Cut peaches into small chunks before freezing for easier blending.
If the sorbet is too hard after freezing, let it soften at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping.

Storage

Store peach sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Re-blending after thawing is not recommended as it may affect texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?

Fresh peaches provide the best flavor, but you can use frozen peaches if fresh ones aren’t available. Just adjust the initial freezing step and proceed to blend once the peaches are frozen solid.

How do I make the sorbet less icy?

To achieve a smoother texture, make sure to blend the mixture thoroughly in a high-powered food processor. Adding a splash of milk or water can help, and avoid over-freezing to prevent it from becoming too hard.

Peach Sorbet Ingredients

4 cups fresh peaches (about 6–8 peaches), peeled
2/3 cup sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Freeze the Peaches: Cut the fresh peaches into small chunks and spread them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze until solid, which takes about 2-3 hours. This ensures the peaches are firm enough for processing into sorbet.
Blend the Sorbet: Transfer the frozen peaches to a heavy-duty food processor. Add the sugar and lemon juice. Pulse a few times to break up the fruit, then blend continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Pause occasionally to stir, press down, and scrape the sides to ensure even blending.
Adjust Flavor & Serve: Taste the sorbet and add a pinch of salt if needed to enhance flavor. For immediate soft-serve style sorbet, serve right away. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a loaf pan lined with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours to firm up for scoopable sorbet.
Serve and Enjoy: Once fully frozen or softened to your desired consistency, scoop and serve the peach sorbet as a refreshing dessert.

Notes

Use a high-powered or heavy-duty food processor for best results. If it warms up or struggles, pause and let it cool before continuing.
If the sorbet mixture is too thick or not blending smoothly, add 1 tablespoon of water or milk at a time until it reaches a creamy texture.
Cut peaches into small chunks before freezing to help the blender process them more easily.
If the sorbet is too hard after freezing, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping for easier serving.
