Notes

For optimal flavor, select peaches that are very ripe, fragrant, and slightly soft to the touch. A quick blanch in boiling water followed by an ice bath will make peeling effortless. Ensure your simple syrup is thoroughly chilled before combining with the peach purée; this is crucial for the ice cream maker to achieve the best possible texture. Don't rush the final freezing step, as a firm set is essential for the sorbet's structure. For an elevated experience, consider adding a hint of vanilla bean paste or a teaspoon of peach liqueur to the purée. Garnish with fresh mint or a thin slice of peach for an appealing presentation.
