Tastebud Tickling Bellini Sorbet Recipes

Steps:

• Puree the peaches in a blender until smooth.
• If the peaches are really ripe this should happen without a problem; but if they are not that ripe peel and slice them, place them in a bowl and sprinkle them with a Tbs or so of sugar. Let it sit for 10 min or so to draw some of the juices from the peaches and add a little sweetness.
• Pour puree into a bowl and chill until ready to use.
• Mix 2 oz of peach puree with 4 oz of Champagne, stir to combine and serve in chilled flutes.
• You can also combine the two in a pitcher, mix and serve (we found this a little easier for our large group).

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and corn syrup.
• Place pan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
• Boil without stirring for 1 minute.
• Remove form heat and cool to room temperature.
• Place the peaches in a blender or food processor with the lemon juices, salt, and cool sugar syrup.
• Process until the mixture is smooth.
• If the puree is too thick to blend properly, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time until mixture blends easily.
• Freeze immediately in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions.
• When finished, the sorbet will be soft but ready to serve.
• For firmer sorbet, transfer to a freezer safe container and freeze several hours.

Steps:

• Place the unopend can of peaches in the freezer.
• Freeze until solid, about 24 hrs.
• (Don't be alarmed if the can bulges).
• When ready to make, submerge the can in very hot tap water for 1-2 minutes.
• Open the can and pour any thawed liquid into the food processor bowl.
• Remove the fruit from the can and cut into 8 chunks.
• Place chunks in the processor bowl with the vanilla.
• Process until smooth and serve immediately or spoon into a freezer container and freeze until desired firmness.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until mixture comes to a boil; reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat; add rosemary, cover, and let stand approximately 10 minutes or until cool.
• Place a fine strainer over a large bowl and pour syrup mixture through (straining out the rosemary leaves). Add lemon juice and vodka to the strained syrup mixture; stir until thoroughly blended.
• Pour into container, cover, and place mixture in the freezer. When it is semi-solid, mash it up with a fork and refreeze again. When frozen, place in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Cover and refreeze until serving time.
• NOTE: Can be prepared 3 days in advance. Cover and keep frozen.
• Makes 8 to 10 servings.
