Ingredients:

  • 4 ripe peaches, peeled and pitted (about 500g)
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) water
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Peel, pit, and chop the peaches into small pieces.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat over medium, stirring until dissolved.
  3. Add chopped peaches, lemon juice, salt, and the syrup to a blender. Blend until smooth.
  4. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl to remove any pulp for a smoother consistency.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
  6. If using an ice cream maker, churn according to the manufacturer's instructions; otherwise, pour into a freezer-safe container and freeze for about 3-4 hours, stirring every 30 minutes until firm.
  7. Scoop and serve, perhaps garnished with fresh mint or a slice of peach.
