Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large fresh peaches, peeled and pitted
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml) water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Make the simple syrup: Combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Prepare the peaches: Peel, pit, and chop about 4 large ripe peaches. To peel easily, blanch peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water.
- Blend the peaches: Place chopped peaches in a blender or food processor. Add 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Combine ingredients: Pour the cooled simple syrup into the peach puree and mix well. Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon juice if needed.
- Freeze the sorbet: Transfer the mixture to a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours or until solid. For smoother texture, stir every 30 minutes during the first 2 hours. Scoop and serve when ready.
Notes
If sorbet freezes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before scooping. Stirring the sorbet every 30 minutes during freezing helps achieve a smoother texture but is optional. Use ripe peaches for best flavor. Frozen peaches can be used but thaw slightly before blending.
