Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 cups frozen peach slices or fresh sliced peaches
  • ½ cup granulated white cane sugar
  • ¼ cup cold water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh or bottled)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, add the peaches, sugar, cold water, and lemon juice. This mixture forms the base of the sorbet and ensures a smooth, flavorful blend.
  2. Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and uniform in texture. This step is crucial for a creamy sorbet without chunks.
  3. Transfer to Freezer-Safe Container: Pour the blended peach mixture into a metal loaf pan or another suitable freezer-safe container. If your container doesn’t have a lid, cover it tightly with parchment paper or aluminum foil to prevent ice crystals and freezer burn.
  4. Freeze: Place the container in the freezer and allow the sorbet to set for at least 4 hours. This freezing time lets the sorbet firm up and develop its creamy texture.
  5. Thaw Before Serving: When ready to serve, remove the sorbet from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. This brief thaw softens the sorbet just enough for easy scooping and optimal texture.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop the sorbet into bowls and enjoy immediately. Garnish with fresh peach slices if desired for a beautiful presentation.

Notes

  • Allow the sorbet to rest for 5 minutes at room temperature before scooping to achieve the perfect creamy consistency.
  • You can substitute other fruits such as mango or blueberries using the same method to create different fruit sorbets.
  • Store well-covered in the freezer for up to 3 months to maintain freshness and flavor.
  • Using frozen peaches gives a frosty texture, while fresh peaches provide a more vibrant fruit flavor—choose based on your preference.
  • Use lemon juice not only for flavor but also to prevent browning and large ice crystal formation.
