Scale
Main Ingredients
- 800 g peeled and sliced ripe yellow peaches (fresh or frozen)
- 200 g caster sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches: Peel and slice the yellow peaches if using fresh. If using frozen peaches, allow them to thaw slightly to soften for easier blending.
- Add sugar and lemon juice: Combine the sliced peaches with caster sugar and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. The lemon juice enhances the peach flavor and balances the sweetness.
- Blend the mixture: Puree the ingredients until completely smooth and free of lumps. This ensures a creamy texture for the sorbet.
- Freeze the puree: Pour the peach puree into a shallow airtight container and place it in the freezer.
- Stir during freezing: Every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours, remove the container from the freezer and stir vigorously with a fork or whisk. This prevents large ice crystals from forming and keeps the sorbet smooth.
- Serve: Once the sorbet has firmed up with a scoopable texture, serve immediately or store in the freezer until needed. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping if too firm.
Notes
- Use fully ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- Caster sugar can be adjusted depending on the sweetness of the peaches and personal preference.
- For an extra smooth texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine sieve before freezing.
- If you prefer a more intense peach flavor, add a small splash of peach schnapps or vanilla extract before freezing (optional).
- Use a shallow container to ensure even freezing and easier stirring between freezes.
