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, and it gave me yet another reason to be thrilled that I bought one just a few months ago. I seriously doubt I will ever buy ice cream (or sorbet) out of a box again. The machine is incredibly easy to use. You literally just flip a switch and 15 to 20 minutes later…voila! Not to mention that you can control exactly what ingredients go into each recipe.
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.
Ingredients
- 4 peaches
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup, or honey
- 3 tablespoons water
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.
- Pour the mixture into frozen ice cream maker bowl and follow manufacturer instructions (in my case that meant letting it run for 15-20 minutes). Enjoy!

Super Easy White Gazpacho
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?
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..
You can let it defrost a while (sitting out on the counter) to soften up before eating if it’s too hard.
This was delicious! So yummy and refreshing, and I love that I didn’t need to peel the peaches first. Definitely a keeper!
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
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!
Hi Krissa, Lisa used this one: https://amzn.to/2ZbmHG9
Is it possible to make this without an icecream maker?
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. ;)
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.
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!
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!
Can you make this using blueberries or strawberries? if yes, how many cups of fruit would I use?
Hi Leila. I’ve made this with raspberries and did not change any measurements.
How many cups of berries did you use?
Thanks!
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.
Thank you :)
so you use 4 raspberries??? How many cupws of raspberries do you use?
I mentioned above 1-1.5 cups packed.
How many strawberries would you need to use?
1-1.5 cups packed.
Does anyone know how to make this without a ice cream machine?
Hi Ruthanne. You just need a blender for this one. :)
It would probably work without an ice cream machine if you used frozen peaches.
