With Ginger and Thyme

Peach Sorbet Recipe

I served this Peach Sorbet for a friend who took one bite, looked at me and said “this is a grown-up dessert”.
It’s a little spicy, not too sweet and the thyme syrup adds a subtle earthiness. Yes Please!

There are more than 2,000 varieties of peaches. To find the best peach, first take a whiff: a ripe peach should be sweetly fragrant. Next give the peach a gentle squeeze: a ripe peach won’t be too hard; it should be soft to the squeeze.
Keep in mind that the color of a peach tells more about what variety it is than its maturity or ripeness. So don’t assume the best peach has a peachy color; it could be more white or greenish white than peach colored. (source: Harvest to Table)

This Peach Sorbet Recipe with Ginger is a quick solution for making a summer dessert that kicks ass. It is fresh and packed with flavor!

– Pour a little champagne over a scoop of the sorbet and you have a perfect pallet cleanser between dinner courses.
– Serve it with a rich Chocolate Pie to add lightness and freshness.
– Or have it for breakfast or dinner on a hot, hot summer day – it’s that good!

If sorbet isn’t your preferred summer treat, how about a cherry ice cream or Banana Ice Cream instead?

Or, you could keep it simple and make my popular Peach and Thyme Cocktail – Cheers!
