Ingredients
  

4 cups ripe peaches, peeled and finely chopped (approximately 6 medium peaches)

1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on the natural sweetness of your peaches)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional for additional flavor)

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: Begin by washing the peaches under cool running water to remove any residue. Carefully peel the peaches, remove the pits, and chop them into small, even-sized pieces. For a refreshing twist, you can freeze the chopped peaches for about 2 hours until they are firm but not completely frozen.

    Blend the Mixture: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the frozen or fresh chopped peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Taste the puree and add more sugar if necessary to suit your desired sweetness.

      Chill the Mixture: For optimal flavor, transfer the peach puree to a bowl and refrigerate it for 30 minutes. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld beautifully and helps in achieving a well-balanced sorbet.

        Freeze the Sorbet: Pour the chilled peach mixture into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to churn the sorbet, which typically takes about 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

          Harden the Sorbet: Once the sorbet is churned to perfection, scoop it into an airtight container. To prevent ice crystals from forming, press a piece of parchment paper gently over the surface of the sorbet before sealing the container. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.

            Serve: When you’re ready to enjoy your sorbet, remove it from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to soften slightly for easy scooping. Serve the sorbet in bowls or cones, and garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of elegance. Savor your refreshing homemade peach sorbet!
