Peach and mint Christmas sorbet

1 day until Christmas! I'm sorry about the ultra long wait for the next post, I've just walked into the house after a long, fun, tiring and beautiful weekend in the country. We have bought an amazing old house from the 1830's (!) and it is right next to a ruin and a train track that always has pretty little train running down it.


 Now, onto the actual subject, this Christmas is going to be hot, 35 is the temp for the day, so here's a little treat to serve under the sun. The peach and mint sorbet has peach, mint and orange juice in it, though it sounds like a kids drink, it actually tastes quite alcoholic. It's still really nice!


8 ripe peaches
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
4 fresh chopped mint leaves
1/2 cup honey or less
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup water

Boil your peaches in water and simmer for 10 minutes. Once cool, add the sugar and the juice. Mix that mixture up in the blender and then add all the other ingredients.
If you don't have an ice cream maker, use a thin cooking tray to pour the mixture into and leave in the freezer for about 2 and a half hours. Once it's frozen, break it up into tiny pieces and blend in the blender for a second time and pour the thicker mixture into a plastic container and freeze for as long or as little as you want.


:) Hope you like (:
MERRY CHRISTMAS
