Homemade Peach Sorbet
I recently learned that fresh local peaches can easily be transformed into a delicious frozen treat. I used my ice cream maker to make this recipe.

Instructions
- Slice the peaches and remove pits. There is no need to remove the peel.
- In a blender puree the peach slices, maple syrup (or honey), and water.

So easy and delicious. Wanted to purchase the recommended machine and found it on sale in pink. We have a local orchard and this will be a repeat dessert. Want to try other fruits too, now! Has anyone tried banana?
Cindi says
I made this last night, and today it's way too hard! I did some research, and it seems that if you add less sugar, your sorbet comes out less scoop-able. I'm surprised that nobody who made this recipe mentioned that..
Jason Leake with 100 Days of Real Food says
You can let it defrost a while (sitting out on the counter) to soften up before eating if it's too hard.
Megan Hartten says
This was delicious! So yummy and refreshing, and I love that I didn't need to peel the peaches first. Definitely a keeper!
Don L Bailey says
Can you tell me what type of Ice Cream maker you used? The traditional one with adding ice and salt or did you use something different? I would like one that isn't so messy.

Hi. Here is Lisa's machine: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003KYSLMW?tag=100dayofreafo-20
Krissa says
Without scrolling through all the comments... Can you tell me what ice cream maker was used? I have looked on Amazon and tried to compare and got so frustrated I decided to stop even looking!
100 Days Admin says
Hi Krissa, Lisa used this one: https://amzn.to/2ZbmHG9
Deb says
Is it possible to make this without an icecream maker?
Amy Taylor (comment moderator) says
Hi there. We've not done so but you can make sorbets without the machine. This might guide you: http://www.cosmopolitan.com/food-cocktails/news/a29095/easy-ice-cream-and-sorbet-recipes/. Stick with Lisa's ingredients, though. ;)
Lindy says
I just tried this recipe but substituted 1.5 cups of frozen strawberries. It was pretty cold so I skipped putting it in the ice cream maker. So good. Thanks for the recipe.
Lyssa says
Wow that was amazing! I don't really like peach skins, so I never buy them, but I love nectarines, so I made this with them and it turned out so yummy! My kids loved it. My son has dairy allergies and getting ice cream for him is so expensive and I never get around to making it for him. This was so easy. He said, "This is the best sorbet ever!" We will definitely making more soon! Thank you!
Karen says
This might be the best thing that ever happened to me. I've made it several times and even the teenager enjoyed it. Thanks Real Food team!
Leila says
Can you make this using blueberries or strawberries? if yes, how many cups of fruit would I use?
Amy Taylor (comment moderator) says
Hi Leila. I've made this with raspberries and did not change any measurements.
Leila says
How many cups of berries did you use?
Thanks!
Amy Taylor (comment moderator) says
Hi again. Sorry. :) I'd say about 1-1 1/2 packed cups. You can add more if the consistency is not what you'd like.
Leila says
Thank you :)
Krissa says
so you use 4 raspberries??? How many cupws of raspberries do you use?
Amy Taylor (comment moderator) says
I mentioned above 1-1.5 cups packed.
Amber says
How many strawberries would you need to use?
Amy Taylor (comment moderator) says
1-1.5 cups packed.
Ruthanne says
Does anyone know how to make this without a ice cream machine?
Amy Taylor (comment moderator) says
Hi Ruthanne. You just need a blender for this one. :)
Dodge says
It would probably work without an ice cream machine if you used frozen peaches.
Barbara Bolich says
Yummy! I used peaches I 'd picked and frozen, mostly thawed and pureed. Perfect recipe, thank you!
Christa says
So making this recipe soon! When we had the peach truck come through last week here in , I got a box. The kids helped me pit them, and i threw them into the blender (skin & all) to puree. Then we poured the puree into freezer containers, and put them in the freezer for later smoothies... and apparently for sorbet!
Cynthia Sommer says
Ok, this may sound weird (I thought so at first), but have you tried any "savory" ice creams? I saw a recipe for cream corn popsicles. Sounded gross at first, but then we like to nibble on frozen cooked corn (it's sweet). Garlic ice cream? We live close to a garlic festival and it's a big seller. Don't know if I could ever get the garlic smell out of the ice cream maker though. :)
Tammy says
I made this the other day I used a food processor and it didn't turn out so good. To chunky. Next time I will use very ripe peaches (or other fruit) So I can puree it in my blender. I to put the left over in the freezer in the ice cream freezer container now it is rock solid. Will not do that again. I liked the one post where they put there's in popsicle molds. I'll have to get me some molds. Once I try the sorbet again I'll let you know how it turns out.
Kathy says
Adding a couple of tablespoons of alcohol (vodka, schnapps,etc)will keep the mixture from becoming too hard in the freezer.
Abby says
I made this the other night and loved it. I also tried it with Kiwi and it was a huge hit. Thanks for a great recipe.
Lori says
Just made peach and strawberry popsicles. 24oz strawberries & peaches, 1C simple syrup, food process, pour, freeze in moulds. With the leftover I just dumped into a plastic container for me to eat later. :)
happymomsusan says
that is amazingly easy! can't wait to unearth my ice-cream maker and give it a try. thanks for sharing.
Michelle says
Just made the peach sorbet and it was great and made some strawberry too and it was outstanding! I don't know if your familiar with the strawberry Dole bars but it tastes exactly like them--so good :-) I filled a couple of Popsicle molds just to have them for later with the little bit I had left over. To make the strawberry sorbet I puréed strawberries, water, and maple syrup just like the peach, put it in my ice cream maker, and in no time super goodness!
Holly says
About how many strawberries did you use to make the strawberry sorbet? I don't like peaches, but I love strawberries!
Rachael says
WOW. That is a great recipe. I was so excited I couldn't wait so I stuck my spoon right in the ice cream maker....now I really can't wait for dessert time!
Janel says
Ok what do you use to freeze it. I made some last week and the leftover in the freezer turned into hard as a rock in my freezer safe bowl. I can't even scoop it. Ironically I made the same thing with cherries earlier in the summer and it stayed scoopable. I also added some lemon juice too.
100 Days of Real Food says
When I freeze leftover homemade ice cream I freeze it in a container other than the ice cream bowl and let it sit on the counter to soften before we eat it.
Lori says
I think I read somewhere that if you add 2 tsp vodka/rum or drinkable alcohol it will prevent it from going "rock hard". I also heard something about Jello too, but I am more likely to have booze than jello. :)
Tiffany says
This looks delicious. Do you have to use an ice cream maker? Or is it possible to blend this like the banana ice cream? I really don't have the money to put into an ice cream maker at this time, but I have plenty of frozen peaches and a couple of kids who LOVE ice cream!
100 Days of Real Food says
If your peaches are frozen it would be worth trying it in the blender (similar to the banana ice cream recipe)!
Nicole says
Ok, I now have the same ice cream maker as you, definitely ready to not use all that ice and rock salt. :-) I also now have fresh peaches. I was just curious, would double this recipe fit in your ice cream maker or was it pretty full with the recipe as is? Thanks!
100 Days of Real Food says
If it isn't too late I think a double recipe would fit.
Tricia says
We made pineapple/mango sorbet the other night that turned out DELICIOUS!!! (put in some fresh lime juice too)...so tasty! Try it!
Rachael says
Ohhh I'm going to try this one too!
Kristel says
Did u find organic peaches? If so where?
100 Days of Real Food says
Yes! Earth Fare in Ballantyne has them (from S.C.)...get them while you can!
Tracie says
Do you think this would work with strawberries and bananas?
melanie says
I recently bought the ice cream maker you recommended. My kids eat every kind of ice cream-frozen yogurt-sorbet, etc. Do you have a website you would recommend that has recipes that are healthy? Thanks.
Lisa says
You know I just started with the book that came with the ice cream maker (for ideas) and made my own healthy substitutions. I can tell you that no one needs the amount of sugar they recommended so back when we were eating white sugar I only put in about half of what they said. Now I substitute that for maple syrup or honey of course (and also put a little less cream and more milk). We have tried different fruits and unsweetened cocoa and all I have to say is that it is pretty hard to make an ice cream that doesn't taste good! So to answer your question I haven't seen a site that specifically has recipes, but would recommend experimenting with some stuff on your own! Let me know if you end up with any winning combination that you want to share :)
Jennelle Jones says
Ooops! Nevermind. I see you've included a link. Thanks!
Jennelle Jones says
What brand ice cream maker do you have? Or is there one you'd recommend? I love ice cream, and it would be great to make my own and control the amount of sugar/chemicals in it. This looks delicious!
Teri [a foodie stays fit] says
I can't believe how creamy this looks! I have an abundance of peaches at home right now. I know what I'm making tonight! :)
