There's no easier trip from fruit to dessert than sorbet. Especially this one, which is also kind to frozen peaches, and doesn't even make you remove the skins.

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: Italian
Keyword: sorbet, peach, fruit
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
  • 3 lbs peaches diced (leave peels on)
  • 2 tsp freshly squeezed juice from 1 lime If peaches are very tart, use less lime juice. If very sweet, use slightly more lime juice.
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
Instructions

  1. Combine peaches, lime juice, and sugar in a food processor and purée until very smooth with no large chunks.  You should have about 1 quart of purée.

  2. Pour through a fine mesh strainer into an airtight container and add salt to taste.  Press a piece of plastic wrap against surface of purée and chill for 2 to 3 hours, or until very cold.

  3. Churn in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions.

  4. Transfer to a container and chill in freezer for 2 to 3 hours, or until firm.
