Peach Sorbet




In this record breaking heat of the summer of 2011, ice cold treats are a must.  One of our favorites are sorbets.  Here is a peach recipe, that I made today.

6-7 large, fresh, ripe, peaches
pot of boiling water
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
6-8 Tablespoons of lemon juice

Bring a very large pot of water to a boil.  Score each peach with an X from top to bottom.  Drop peaces in boiling water for 10-20 seconds, remove, let cool.  Using a small knife, grasp the skin and peel back. Will slide right off.  Cut peaches into large chunks, discard the pits. 

In a blender or processor, put the sugar, lemon juice and corn syrup in. Blend for a few seconds to mix well. Add about 3/4 of the peaches and blend well.  Cut the rest of the peaches up into small bite sized pieces.  Pour the blended mixture into a large bowl, add your bite sized pieces. Mix gently.  Pour into your ice cream maker and follow the manufactures directions.
