Step 1: Prepare the Peaches
Start by washing your ripe peaches thoroughly under cold water. This cleans away any dirt or residue. Once clean, slice each peach in half and carefully remove the pit. Use a knife to make a shallow cut around the pit and twist gently to separate. The goal is to expose the sweet juicy flesh inside. Set the peach halves aside ready for their transformation.
Step 2: Roast for Extra Flavor
Preheat your oven to 400°F 200°C and place the sliced peaches on a baking sheet cut side up. Sprinkle them lightly with sugar enhancing their natural sweetness. Roast them in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until they soften and caramelize a bit. This step creates a depth of flavor that makes your Peach Delight exceptionally delicious.
Step 3: Blend to Perfection
Once the peaches are roasted and cooled slightly transfer them to a blender. Add lemon juice and a pinch of salt for added brightness. Blend until smooth the mixture should be vibrant and fragrant smelling like summer. Don't rush this step the smoother your mixture the creamier the sorbet will be!
Step 4: Freeze the Mixture
Pour the blended peach mixture into a shallow dish. Spread it out evenly to allow for quicker freezing. Place it in the freezer and wait patiently for about 4-6 hours. Occasionally stir the mixture with a fork every hour to break up any ice crystals that might form. This ensures a velvety texture for your Peach Delight.
Step 5: Serve While Fresh
Once the sorbet is fully frozen scoop it into bowls or cones. Feel free to garnish with fresh mint or additional peach slices for a beautiful presentation. Enjoy your homemade Peach Delight a perfect refresher for any occasion!
