Ingredients
- Ripe nectarines
- 4 cups, peeled, pitted, and chopped
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (adjust based on sweetness of nectarines)
- Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons
- Water
- 1/2 cup (optional, for a smoother texture)
Instructions
- Begin by peeling and pitting the nectarines. Cut them into chunks and place them in a blender or food processor.
- Add the granulated sugar and fresh lemon juice to the blender. If you prefer a smoother texture, include the optional water.
- Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and well combined, ensuring the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the smooth mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the sorbet to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until it is firm and ready to scoop.
- When ready to serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy the refreshing treat!
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in a splash of vanilla extract or a few fresh mint leaves before blending.
- If nectarines are unavailable, peaches or plums can be used for a similar delicious sorbet.
- To make this sorbet even more vibrant, consider adding a handful of berries to the blender for a mixed fruit sorbet!
