Ingredients
Fruit and Syrups
- 2.2 lb (1 kg) peaches, fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup white corn syrup
- 3/4 cup basil-infused simple syrup (see note)
- 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Prepare the peaches: Using frozen peaches that are slightly thawed, place 1 kg of them into a large heavy-duty blender or food processor to ensure the best texture for your sorbet.
- Add liquids and sugar: Pour in 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup white corn syrup, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup basil-infused simple syrup to the peaches in the blender.
- Blend until smooth: Pulse the mixture on high speed until the fruit and syrups combine into a smooth, cold sorbet base. Using slightly thawed frozen peaches helps achieve a smooth texture quickly.
- Freeze the sorbet: Transfer the blended mixture into a ceramic or lined metal loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula. Freeze for 3-4 hours to solidify.
- Serving preparation: If frozen for longer than 4 hours, allow the sorbet to soften at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping and serving to ensure the best texture.
Notes
- The basil-infused simple syrup recipe can be found in the Frozen Basil Bellini Mocktail Recipe.
- Using frozen peaches slightly thawed leads to a smoother texture and quicker blending.
- If using raw peaches instead of frozen, the sorbet will take longer to freeze and may require longer chilling time.
- Freeze the sorbet in a lined metal or ceramic pan to help freeze evenly and enable easy scooping.
