In the summertime, when the weather is dry and hot, you need something refreshing. With peaches in season, Raspberry Peach Sorbet is the perfect quick and easy dessert.
I can’t resist fresh fruit from a Farmers Market or stand. My friends at Selmi’s Greenhouse and Market has these amazing looking peaches. I wasn’t sure what I would do with them, but I knew I had to buy them.
After a day of gazing at these beauties on the counter, I dove into Pinterest to see what I could see. Peaches lend themselves to a wide variety of dishes, both sweet and savory.
Last year during the peach season, I made Grilled Peaches with Vanilla Yogurt Cream, and they were fantastic.
During my search, I came across several recipes for ice cream or sherbet. There is something about creamy when it’s scorching outside that just doesn’t work for me. I want something icy cold.
Sorbet…now that’s the ticket. Icy cold, and simple. Nothing complicated or involved. All you need is the fruit frozen and the food processor strong!
After washing the fruit, place it on parchment-lined baking sheets and place in the freezer, ideally overnight.
Once frozen, add the fruit, a touch of honey, lemon juice, and keep some warm water handy to aide with processing the fruit. I did not add the raspberries until the very end to try and keep them intact.
While processing the fruit, add the warm water a small amount at a time to loosen up the fruit to the desired consistency.
Eat Raspberry Peach Sorbet right away or freeze to have on hand whenever you need a refreshing summertime treat.
