Scale
Ingredients
- 800 g peeled and sliced ripe yellow peaches (fresh or frozen)
- 200 g caster sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (add gradually to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peaches: Peel and slice the peaches into 8 slices each to ensure even processing and smooth texture in the sorbet.
- Blend the Peaches and Sugar: Place the peach slices and caster sugar in a food processor bowl. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed to evenly blend all the fruit.
- Add Lemon Juice: Gradually mix in the lemon juice, tasting as you go to achieve the desired level of brightness and balance.
- Freeze the Sorbet: Transfer the peach puree into a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for 6-7 hours or until firm and scoopable. Serve chilled.
Notes
- You can use frozen peaches if fresh are not available—just thaw slightly before processing.
- Adjust sugar quantity according to the natural sweetness of your peaches and personal taste preference.
- Lemon juice enhances the flavor and helps prevent browning, so add gradually and taste to avoid overpowering the peach flavor.
- For a smoother texture, stir the sorbet every 2 hours during freezing if you notice ice crystals forming.
- Store leftover sorbet in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
