Peaches
In Texas, the freestone harvest begins in early July. These peaches
have flesh that can be separated from the pits easily.
Recipe:
Fresh Peach Sorbet
from
The
America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook
In a food processor, pulse together 21/2 pounds of
ripe
peaches (peeled, pitted and coarsely chopped), 1 cup minus 1 tablespoon
sugar, and a pinch of salt until combined, about 15 pulses. With the
machine running, pour 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
and 1 tablespoon vodka or peach liqueur through the feeding tube and
continue to process until the sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute.
Strain the mixture into a large bowl and refrigerate until completely
chilled, about 1 hour. Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker
and follow manufacturer's instructions. Transfer the sorbet to an
airtight container and press plastic wrap against the surface. Cover
the container and freeze the sorbet until firm, about 3 hours. Makes
about 11/2 pints.
Note: The alcohol is important. It keeps the sorbet smooth and
ice-free, as well as allowing you to use less sugar.
