Peach Sherbet & Peach Sorbet

The hot weather is coming!  There's nothing fresher than home made ice cream.  But if you don't have an ice cream maker, you can mix up a batch of Sherbet or Sorbet in no time at all!  

Store bought Sherbet contains High Fructose Corn Syrup.  Your home made Sherbet is so much better for you!  You can use low-fat or fat-free sweetened condensed milk to cut calories and fat.



FOR THE SHERBET:

Peel and slice 6 large ripe peaches, then freeze until firm.  Blend with 1 cup sweetened condensed milk (in batches if necessary) until creamy and smooth. Eat immediately soft-serve-style, or freeze in a metal loaf pan up to 3 days.

FOR THE SORBET:

Follow steps above, leaving out sweetened condensed milk.  Instead stir in 3/4 cup sugar into 3/4 cup water and blend with frozen peaches, along with 1 teaspoon lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
