Peach & White Wine Sorbet


INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 lbs Peaches (about 6 medium), pits removed and roughly chopped.
1/2 cups Water
1/2 cup +1 TBSP Sugar (If peaches are tart add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar.)
1 whole Lemon (zest and juice)
1 cup White Wine (I used a Müller-Thurgau.)

DIRECTIONS

In a medium sauce pan, combine peaches, water, sugar and zest of the lemon.

Cook over medium low heat until peaches have softened and sugar is dissolved, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.

Once cool, add peach mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the juice from the lemon and the cup of white wine. Blend until completely pureed.

Transfer pureed mixture into either a glass container with lid or a tupperware container, and chill in fridge for 4-5 hours.

Transfer container to freezer stirring approximately every 30 minutes for about 3-4 hours. You can also use a ice cream maker if you have one. Follow the manufacturing instructions.

Spoon into dishes and and serve with a fresh a slice of peach as garnish. Enjoy!
