Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces ripe peaches (or about 4 cups of peeled, pitted, and chopped peaches) Ripe peaches are essential for natural sweetness.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar For a healthier option, consider using honey or agave syrup.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice For a tangy twist; lime works wonders too.
  • 1 pinch salt To enhance the sweetness.
Substitutions
  • coconut sugar A lower glycemic index alternative to granulated sugar.
  • maple syrup A vegan substitute for honey.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by washing, peeling, and pitting your peaches. Cut them into chunks.
  2. If you prefer a smoother texture, consider blanching the peaches for a minute in boiling water, then plunging them into ice water before peeling.
Blending
  1. In a blender, combine the chopped peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Blend until smooth, but leave some small chunks for texture if desired.
Chilling
  1. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place it in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
  2. Stir every 5 minutes to ensure an even freeze.
Serving
  1. Once the mixture is icy yet creamy, scoop into bowls, and enjoy!

Notes

If your sorbet is too hard, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving, or blend it again briefly. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks.
