If you are looking for a delicious way to cool off during these hot summer days look no further than this Peach Sorbet! It’s bursting with flavor from fresh, juicy peaches. Plus, it only requires four ingredients, so it’s super easy too. A total win-win during the dog days of summer!

I have had an ice cream maker for five years and have never made sorbet until just a few weeks ago! I had no idea how much I was missing out!

The first flavor I made was Fresh Strawberry Sorbet, and it was amazing! I quickly began thinking of other flavors to try. Because it’s peach season right now, peach sorbet seemed to be the natural choice!

What is Sorbet?

Sorbet is different from ice cream in that it doesn’t contain any cream or dairy. It usually consists of simple ingredients like fresh fruit, water, sugar, lemon or lime juice, and corn syrup.

Ingredients Needed

• Fresh Peaches
• Sugar
• Corn Syrup
• Fresh Lime or Lemon Juice

Steps to Prepare

• For peach sorbet, you’ll want about 10 fresh peaches with the skin removed.
• Add the peeled, pitted and sliced peaches to a blender or food processor along with the sugar, corn syrup and lemon/lime juice. Pulse to chop, then turn up the speed until the mixture is smooth.
• Cover mixture and refrigerator until cold, at least one hour.
• Add the mixture to your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer’s directions. Sorbet is ready when it reaches soft-serve consistency.
• Remove sorbet mixture from the ice cream mixture and transfer to air tight container. Freeze for several hours overnight.

Tips on how to peel, pit and slice a peach!

You can remove the skins by either using a vegetable peeler, or by blanching and peeling them. Click this link to see an easy tutorial on How to Blanch and Peel Peaches.

If your peaches are not ripe, I suggest using the vegetable peeler. If your peaches are nice and ripe, then blanching them will get the skins to just slide right off.

Once you’ve removed the skins, just slice each peach about twelve times. Then you can easily remove the slices by holding the peach in your hand and twisting it. This is easier than cutting the peach in half and then trying to remove the pit, especially if you’ve happened to get “cling stone” peaches.

Can you make sorbet without an ice cream maker?

The answer is yes, but it may be as hard as a rock! An ice cream maker is important because it infuses air into the sorbet, which gives it a light texture. If you simply pour the sorbet mixture into a container and freeze it, it will be like a popsicle and you will have trouble scooping it out of the container! However, you do have the option of letting it sit out and soften up a bit before you try to scoop it.
