Equipment

  • Blender
  • small sauce pan
  • fine strainer
  • 1 knife and cutting board
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • shallow and flat dish or baking pan (if using no-churn method, this dish will be used to freeze the sorbet and allow for stirring.)
  • plastic wrap or lid
  • fork (for no churn)
  • 1 ice cream maker (optional)
  • freezer-safe airtight container

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and chopped (about 5-8 peaches)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste, depending on the sweetness of the peaches)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (from about 1/2 of a lemon)

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, grated ginger, and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Let it simmer for about 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat and allow the ginger syrup to cool completely.
  • In a blender or food processor, add the chopped peaches and lemon juice. Pulse until the peaches are smooth and pureed.
  • Once the ginger syrup is cool, strain it to remove the ginger pieces and discard them.
  • Add the ginger syrup to the peach puree and blend again until well combined.
  • Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if needed.
  • Continue instructions for following No-Churn or Ice Cream Maker

No-Churn Ice Cream Maker Option:

  • Pour the peach ginger mixture into a shallow and flat dish or a baking pan.
  • Cover the dish or pan with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the freezer.
  • After 1 hour, remove the dish from the freezer and use a fork to stir and break up any ice crystals that may have formed.
  • Return the dish to the freezer and repeat the stirring process every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours, or until the sorbet reaches the desired consistency.
  • Once the sorbet is firm and has the desired texture, it's ready to be served.

If you have an Ice Cream Maker:

  • Pour the peach ginger mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a smooth and creamy sorbet consistency.
  • Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze it for an additional 2-3 hours or until firm.
  • Before serving, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easy scooping.
  • Garnish peach ginger sorbet with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
