Ingredients
- Ripe peaches
- 4 cups, peeled, pitted, and chopped
- Ripe plums
- 2 cups, peeled, pitted, and chopped
- Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (adjust to taste)
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
- Water
- 1/2 cup
Instructions
- Peel and pit the ripe peaches and plums, then cut them into chunks.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the peach chunks, plum chunks, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and well combined, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if desired; blend again to incorporate any additional sugar.
- Pour the 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 2 hours to firm up.
- When ready to serve, scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones and enjoy! For an extra touch, garnish with fresh mint leaves or a slice of fruit.
Tips
- For a more intense flavor, consider roasting the peaches and plums before blending. This will caramelize their natural sugars and add depth.
- Experiment with different fruits, such as nectarines or apricots, to create your unique sorbet flavors.
- 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.
