# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
6 ripe fresh peaches
02 -
1/2 cup granulated sugar
03 -
Fresh juice from half a lemon
04 -
Small pinch of kosher salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by peeling and removing the pits from your peaches. For firm peaches, a vegetable peeler works great. If they're super ripe and soft, make a small cross cut at the bottom, drop them in boiling water for about 20-30 seconds, then transfer to ice water - the skin will slip right off! Once peeled and pitted, place the peach pieces in a freezer-safe container and freeze until they're completely firm, which usually takes around 2 to 4 hours.
02 -
Toss your frozen peach pieces into a food processor along with the sugar, that pinch of salt, and fresh lemon juice. Blend everything together until it becomes smooth and creamy - this is where the magic happens and it transforms into sorbet!
03 -
Transfer your beautifully blended mixture into a loaf pan or any freezer-safe container you have on hand. Pop it back in the freezer for at least 4 hours, though you can leave it for up to three days if you're planning ahead.

When you're ready to indulge, simply scoop out portions and enjoy this refreshingly light summer treat! It's the perfect way to cool down on a hot day.
# Notes:
01 -
This sorbet will keep beautifully in your freezer for about a month, so feel free to make it ahead of time.
02 -
This recipe uses less sugar than traditional sorbets, but you can bump it up to a full cup if you prefer things sweeter.
03 -
Feel free to get creative! Try mixing in other fruits with the peaches or swap the peaches entirely for your favorite summer fruit.
04 -
The texture is incredibly light and refreshing - perfect for those hot summer days when you want something cool but not too heavy.
