A simple, refreshing peach sorbet made with ripe peaches, cane sugar, fresh lemon juice, sea salt, and vanilla extract. Perfect for hot summer days as a cool dessert, requiring no ice cream machine.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 28 oz peaches (peeled, pitted, and sliced into 1-inch wedges)
  • 6.5 oz cane sugar
  • 1.5 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Select ripe peaches that are soft to the touch and smell fragrant.
  2. Peel, pit, and slice peaches into approximately 1-inch wedges (or smaller pieces for an ultra-smooth purée).
  3. If using frozen peaches, thaw slightly and drain any excess liquid.
  4. Combine the peeled, pitted, and sliced peaches with the cane sugar in a food processor.
  5. Blend until completely smooth, about 1–2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed.
  6. Transfer the peach purée to a bowl.
  7. Stir in fresh lemon juice, sea salt, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  8. Taste the mixture and adjust lemon juice or sugar to preference.
  9. (Optional) Chill the purée in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to help the sugar dissolve and improve texture.
  10. Pour the finished sorbet mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container and cover tightly.
  11. Freeze until firm, about 6–7 hours.
  12. Stir the sorbet every 2 hours during the first 4 hours of freezing to break up ice crystals and keep the texture smooth.
  13. Let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping to soften.

Notes

Use ripe peaches that are soft and fragrant to ensure a flavorful sorbet., Do not skip the lemon juice as it brightens the flavor and prevents flatness., Stir sorbet during freezing to avoid grainy texture caused by ice crystals., For extra smoothness, cut peaches smaller before blending and chill purée before freezing., Serve sorbet with pound cake, shortbread cookies, fresh berries, mint, or sparkling water/prosecco for variety.
