A delicious recipe for sorbet

Sorbet is something that is very delicious, especially if made more towards fruit than Popsicle. Here is just such a recipe...

Take 1 1/2 lbs of peaches, or nectarines, or other stone fruit you enjoy. Bake them in a glass baking dish in a 350 degree oven for one hour. Let them cool until you can handle them without burning yourself. Remove the stones and place in a blender. Note: I find that with peaches or apricots there is no need to remove the skin. If the idea revolts you, take charge and remove those skins.

Next, add 2 Tbls of unflavored or complementary flavored vodka, to the baking dish. Add 1/3 cup of water also. Using a wooden spoon or soft spatula, so as not to scratch the glass dish, stir up any carmelized fruit juices. When done, add that to the blender.

Next, put 1/3 cup of white sugar into the blender.

Now, blend away until it is smooth.

If time permits, refrigerate the mixture for a while to cool it. This is particularly important if you are using an old-fashioned ice-cream maker.

When ready, pour mixture into an ice-cream maker for 15-30 minutes. Check it periodically until the texture is more like ice-cream than Popsicle.

That's all there is to it. You might find a few toasted almonds go well on top.

Good eating!
