Tips for Making This Peach Sorbet Without Churning
- Cut crosswise to the “seam” or “crease” that runs along the peach’s side when making the initial cut. This procedure makes it easier to remove the stone entirely from the peach. In my batch, all of the peach stones had split at some point.
- Peeling the peaches: Once the fruit is sliced into eighths, the skin should come off rather easily if the peaches are quite ripe. I simply cut the skin off with a small, sharp knife if you find that it is difficult to peel off.
- To achieve a creamy and perfectly set final product, the fruit-to-sugar ratio must be 4:1 (i.e., 800g of fruit divided by 4 = 200g sugar). This ensures that the sorbet sets firm but retains its scoopability.
- In the past, readers have questioned me about using canned or tinned peaches in place of fresh peaches. I hate to say that I wasn’t successful with it. I suggest sticking with fresh peaches instead of canned ones.

Ingredients
- Eight excellent yellow peaches, frozen or fresh, 800g, peeled and sliced
- 200 grams (see notes) of caster sugar
- One tablespoon, or to taste, lemon juice (see notes)
Instructions
- Peel each of the eight peach slices after slicing them.
- Put the peach slices and sugar into the food processor bowl and process, stopping
- occasionally to scrape down the sides, until the mixture is smooth.
- After smoothing, taste and add lemon juice.
- Freeze until solid, about 6-7 hours.
Notes
- Taste and adjust the amount of lemon juice as needed. Don’t pour it all in at once. It could also seem like an odd component, but it enhances the peach flavour significantly.
- A 4:1 fruit-to-sugar ratio is what you want to achieve the desired consistency. I calculate this based on my weight. I weigh the peeled and sliced fruit, then divide the weight by 4 to determine how much sugar to add.
- My 800g of sliced peaches in this recipe yields 200g when divided by 4.
- It should maintain a decent consistency regardless of the size of the recipe, as long as you adhere to the proportion of 4:1
