Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Fresh peaches
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vodka (optional, for smoother texture)
Instructions
Wash the peaches thoroughly and bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Score a small 'X' on the bottom of each peach with a paring knife and blanch them in the boiling water for 30 seconds.
Remove the peaches from the water and immediately transfer them to an ice bath to cool. Peel off the skins using your fingers or a knife.
Slice the peeled peaches in half, remove the pits, and roughly chop the flesh.
In a small saucepan, combine granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely to create a simple syrup, then let it cool to room temperature.
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped peaches, simple syrup, lemon juice, honey, and vodka (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the peach mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any solids, ensuring a smooth texture.
Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly cold.
Transfer the chilled mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until the sorbet reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Scoop the sorbet into an airtight container, smooth the surface, and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up before serving.
Serve the peach sorbet in bowls or cones and enjoy as a refreshing dessert!
