Ingredients
- Ripe peaches
- 3 cups, peeled and pitted
- Ripe apricots
- 2 cups, peeled and pitted
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (adjust based on sweetness of fruit)
- Water
- 1 cup
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
Instructions
- Begin by peeling and pitting the ripe peaches and apricots. Cut them into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the peach and apricot pieces, granulated sugar, water, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Pour the blended mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until the sorbet reaches a soft-serve consistency.
- Transfer the sorbet to a lidded container and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- To serve, scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh mint leaves or a drizzle of honey.
Tips
- For a more intense flavor, consider adding a splash of peach or apricot liqueur to the mixture before churning.
- You can substitute honey or agave syrup for the granulated sugar if you're looking for a natural sweetener.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.
