Chilling your peach mixture before freezing is a vital step that significantly enhances the overall flavor of your sorbet. By allowing the mixture to chill, you enable the flavors to meld together, resulting in a more vibrant and rich taste. Additionally, chilling helps to improve the texture of the sorbet, making it smoother and creamier upon freezing.

Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, peeled and diced

1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Pinch of salt

1 cup cold water

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: Start by peeling and dicing the peaches. To easily peel them, you can blanch them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice bath and peel off the skins.

    Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the diced peaches, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, salt, and cold water. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

      Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary. If you prefer a sweeter sorbet, add more sugar one tablespoon at a time and blend again.

        Chill the Mixture: Pour the peach mixture into a bowl and refrigerate it for about 1 hour. This step helps to enhance the flavors.

          Freeze the Sorbet: After chilling, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the sorbet reaches a soft-serve consistency (usually about 20-25 minutes).

            Transfer and Harden: Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and smooth the top. Freeze for at least an additional 2-3 hours, or until firm.

              Serve: Scoop the frozen sorbet into bowls and enjoy! For an elegant touch, garnish with fresh mint leaves or a slice of peach.
