Ingredients
- 4 cups ripe peaches (peeled, pitted, and sliced)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (or honey for a natural option)
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches
Peel, pit, and slice the peaches. For easy peeling, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water before removing the skins. - Blend the Base
Place the peaches, sugar, water, and lemon juice into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. - Chill the Mixture
Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for 1–2 hours. Chilling helps the sorbet freeze evenly. - Freeze the Sorbet
- With Ice Cream Maker: Pour into your ice cream maker and churn until thick and smooth.
- Without Ice Cream Maker: Pour into a shallow dish, freeze for 3–4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals until creamy.
- Serve and Enjoy
Scoop into bowls, garnish with peach slices or fresh mint, and serve immediately.
Tips and Variations
- For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla or a pinch of ground ginger.
