Instructions

Prepare the Peaches: Peel, pit, and slice the peaches if using fresh. For frozen peaches, thaw them slightly so they’re easy to blend.
Make the Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Remove from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Blend the Ingredients: Add the peaches, cooled syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla (if using) to a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
Strain (Optional): For extra smooth sorbet, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any bits of skin or pulp. This step is especially helpful if you didn’t peel the peaches.
Chill the Mixture: Transfer the blended peach mixture to the refrigerator and chill it for at least 1-2 hours, or until very cold. This helps it freeze faster and more evenly.
Freeze the Sorbet: Pour the chilled peach mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually 20-25 minutes, until creamy and thick.
Harden in the Freezer: Transfer the churned sorbet to a freezer-safe container, cover, and freeze for at least 2-4 hours to firm up before serving.

Notes

If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the peach mixture into a shallow container and freeze. Stir every 30-60 minutes until it reaches sorbet consistency.
Use ripe, in-season peaches for the best flavor.
Adjust sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of your fruit.
The addition of lemon juice brightens the flavor and balances the sweetness.
Sorbet will harden as it freezes—let it sit out for a few minutes before scooping for best texture.
