When the summer heat is at its peak or you’ve just enjoyed a hearty meal, this Peach Sorbet emerges as a perfect dessert choice. With a delightful blend of peaches and pears, this sorbet promises a light, fruity, and invigorating finish to any meal. Ideal for those who prefer a healthy and easy-to-make dessert, this recipe ensures you enjoy a refreshing treat with minimal effort.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh pears, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup white wine (or an equal amount of water for a non-alcoholic version)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Begin by puréeing the fresh peaches and pears together. You can use a blender or food processor for this step, blending until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. This fruit purée will serve as the base for your sorbet.

  2. Create the Sugar Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar with the white wine (or water if opting for a non-alcoholic version). Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Allow it to come to a simmer, and continue cooking until the sugar has completely dissolved into the liquid. This should take just a few minutes.

  3. Combine and Chill: Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir the sugar mixture into the fruit purée, ensuring that it is evenly mixed.

  4. Freeze the Mixture: Pour the mixture into a freezerproof container. Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap.

  5. First Freezing Phase: Place the container in the freezer and allow it to freeze for 3 hours. Every 30 minutes during this time, remove the container from the freezer and whisk the mixture vigorously to break up any ice crystals that may form. This process helps to achieve a smooth, creamy texture in the finished sorbet.

  6. Final Freezing Phase: After the initial 3 hours, let the sorbet freeze for an additional 2 hours, or until it becomes firm.

  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once the sorbet is thoroughly frozen and firm, scoop it into bowls or glasses. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste of homemade peach sorbet!
