Making the Peach Cherry Sorbet
(scroll down to the bottom of post for the full recipe)
Ingredients You Will Need
- Peaches
- Cherries
- Honey or agave nectar
- Lemon juice
- White rum
How to Prepare Fruit
You will need 3 medium peeled/diced peaches and about 3 cups worth of pitted cherries for this sorbet. Ideally, try to find fresh, in-season fruit for the best flavor!
Arrange the fruit in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze 4 hours or until fruit is completely firm.
Alternatively, if you’re in a hurry, you can use pre-frozen peaches (about 3 cups worth) and cherries to speed this sorbet along.
Tips for Perfect Sorbet
- Use frozen fruit – as mentioned above, you want your fruit completely frozen prior to blending!
- Add alcohol to sorbet – we have found that adding 1 tablespoon of rum, tequila, or triple sec to this sorbet does wonders to the texture. The alcohol prevents the sorbet from freezing entirely which keeps it smooth and creamy. No worries if you don’t want any alcohol in it, feel free to skip it!
- Process sorbet in two batches – smaller batches are easier on your blender or food processor and helps it break down the fruit much better for a smoother sorbet.
- Freeze sorbet 2 hours for a firmer texture – if you like your sorbet soft serve-style, you can skip this step and enjoy it straight after blending.
Storing Sorbet
To prevent melting, transfer sorbet to freezer immediately after blending. The sorbet will store well in the freezer up to 2 months.
Recipe Variations
The best part about this sorbet is you can adapt it to include a wide variety of fruits! Try fruits such as pineapple, mango, banana, raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries.
Amounts will stay the same – just shoot for roughly 6 cups of fruit.
Refreshingly fruity, bursting with sweet peach and cherry flavors, and just way too easy to knock back three scoops of. Don’t worry, this sorbet is a good problem to have.
