Equipment

  • Food processor or blender
  • Sorbet/ice cream maker
  • Freezer safe container

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pure raw honey, preferably a light-colored (mild flavored) honey
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 cups peach slices, fresh or frozen, with or without skins
  • 2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon pure vanilla, such as Frontier Co-op brand

Instructions

The Night Before

  • Put your ice cream maker's canister into the freezer overnight, or for how many hours the manufacturer recommends. Before putting it into the freezer, make sure the canister is perfectly dry, then seal it in a plastic bag. This will prevent moisture from collecting on its surface and will prevent the absorption of odors.

Make a Simple Syrup

  • Add the water and honey to a small saucepan over medium heat. Warm up, while stirring, until the honey dissolves; do not boil. Cool down to room temperature, then refrigerate.
  • You can make this in advance, pour into a small glass mason jar, and keep chilled in the refrigerator.

Make Sorbet

  • Put the chilled simple syrup, peaches, and lemon juice into a food processor or blender; process until smooth.
  • Refrigerate peach mixture until well chilled. It's important for the peach mixture to be very cold before processing it in the sorbet/ice cream maker.
  • Pour the chilled mixture into the frozen canister. Churn, for 15 to 20 minutes, following the manufacturers directions.
  • Add the vanilla about two minutes before the sorbet is done processing.
  • Using a soft spatula, scrape the sorbet into a freezer-safe glass bowl or loaf pan. A Pyrex bowl with BPA-free snap-on lid works well. Place it in your freezer for about two hours before serving.

Notes

  • Ice crystals can form on the surface of the sorbet while it's in the freezer. To prevent this, cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the container and place it on the surface of the sorbet.
  • If the peach sorbet is too hard to scoop right out of the freezer, let it soften for 5 to 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Melted sorbet can be successfully re-churned. Just be sure the canister is fully frozen.
  • If you have the room, consider storing the canister in your freezer (sealed in a plastic bag) so it's always ready to use.
