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 the peaches and slice each peach into 8 slices for even processing.
- Puree the Peaches and Sugar: Place the peach slices and caster sugar into a food processor bowl. Process until the mixture is smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure even blending.
- Add Lemon Juice: Slowly add lemon juice to the peach puree, tasting as you go to adjust the brightness and acidity according to your preference.
- Freeze the Sorbet: Transfer the peach mixture into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for 6 to 7 hours, or until the sorbet is firm and scoopable.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen peaches, but ensure they’re fully thawed if frozen before processing.
- Adjust the sugar amount depending on the sweetness of the peaches and your taste preference.
- The lemon juice adds brightness and helps balance sweetness, so add gradually.
- For a smoother texture, stir the sorbet every 2 hours while freezing to prevent large ice crystals.
- Serve immediately after freezing for a soft-serve texture or let it firm longer for a more scoopable consistency.
