Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, peeled and pitted

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup water

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Optional toppings: Fresh mint leaves, thin peach slices, or a light drizzle of honey

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peach Puree: In a high-speed blender, add the peeled and pitted peaches along with the fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

    Make the Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool to room temperature, approximately 15-20 minutes.

      Combine Syrup and Puree: After the syrup has cooled, pour it into the peach puree. Gently fold the syrup into the peach mixture using a spatula or spoon until evenly combined, ensuring the syrup enhances the natural sweetness of the peaches.

        Chill the Mixture: Transfer the combined mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish. Place it in the freezer and chill for about 2 to 3 hours, or until the edges are semi-frozen and the mixture begins to firm up.

          Whip It Up: Using a fork, scrape through the mixture to create fluffy granules, breaking up any icy clumps that may have formed. This step is crucial for achieving a light and smooth sorbet texture.

            Freeze Again: Return the scraped peach mixture to the shallow dish. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and place it back in the freezer until it is fully frozen and firm, about 4 hours or ideally overnight for the best texture.

              Scoop and Serve: When ready to serve, remove the sorbet from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for approximately 5 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping. Use a scoop to portion the sorbet into individual serving cups.

                Garnish and Enjoy: Top your peach sorbet with optional garnishes such as fresh mint leaves, delicate peach slices, or a swirl of honey for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal. Serve immediately and savor this delightful and refreshing treat!
