Prepare Peach Sorbet:
- In the blender, combine the sliced peaches and gradually add the apple juice. Process until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. This will form the base of your sorbet.
-
Freeze the Sorbet:
- Pour the peach mixture into a freezer-safe bowl. Cover it with a lid or cling film, then place the bowl in the freezer to set for several hours, around 4 to 5 hours.

Blend and Refreeze:
- After 4 to 5 hours, when the sorbet is nearly frozen, take it out of the freezer. Using a food processor, blend the mixture to break down the ice crystals. This will help create a smoother texture.
- Return the sorbet to the container and freeze again for another 2 hours. Repeat this process 3-4 times at 2-hour intervals until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
-
Serve:
- Once the sorbet is fully set and smooth, scoop it into serving bowls. Top each serving with a spoonful of the chilled pineapple puree.
