Gingered Peach Sorbet Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper. Roast peach halves, cut side down for 30 minutes until soft and color deepens. When done, remove from oven and let cool completely. Meanwhile, heat water and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Just until the honey dissolves. Remove from heat and "steep" ginger for 30 minutes. Strain and reserve honey simple syrup. When peaches are cool, puree in food processor or blender. Add orange zest and ginger honey simple syrup and place in fridge to chill. At least two hours. Once the mixture is chilled, churn according to manufacturer's instructions. For example, mine requires I run the motor 2-3 minutes before adding layers of ice and rock salt to the bucket. Then I let it churn for about 25-30 minutes {time will vary} or until the motor slows down considerably. Remove the motor top, sweep off any ice and salt from the canister lid, scrape the mixer paddle, and divvy up into Mason jars. I use my canning scraper to remove air bubbles before placing the lid on. Store in the freezer, removing 10-15 minutes prior to serving to let sorbet soften slightly.

Steps:

• 1. Purée the peaches in a blender and strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium glass or metal bowl, pressing on the solids with a rubber spatula to remove as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. You should have about 2 cups of purée. Add the tea, sugar, vodka, and corn syrup and stir until the sugar dissolves. Cover and refrigerate until the mixture is very cold (under 40°F), at least 4 hours, then mix well.
