Peach Sorbet (Thermomix)

Peach Sorbet

I made this while practising the Thermomix demonstration recipes and from the speed at which it disappeared I took it to be a success.

Time: 6 hours to freeze fruit, ten minutes to make the sorbet


Ingredients

6-7 large white-fleshed donut peaches (you are aiming for 500g of frozen fruit)
60 g granulated or caster sugar - this depends on the ripeness of the fruit but really you need to use very ripe fruit for this to get a good flavour
2 t lime juice (or to taste)
2 mint leaves (optional but I like it)


The fruit needs to be frozen in advance. I covered the peaches in just boiled water for a minute or two to loosen the skins and then slipped the skins off and discarded the stones. Cut the fruit into small chunks and lay it out in a single layer on a tray lined with baking parchment that will fit in your freezer.  Freeze the fruit until fully frozen - at least 6 hours.

To make the sorbet first grind the sugar into icing sugar for 10 seconds at speed 10. Then add the other ingredients and mix at speed 5 for about a minute and a half.  You can use the Thermomix spatula to move the fruit in the bowl and it is helpful to stop the machine and scrape down the sides a couple of times.  By about one and a half minutes you should have a beautiful, smooth creamy sorbet.

Put it in a container and watch is disappear before you get to put it away. Then transfer the remainder to a smaller container and store in the freezer. Or give up and eat it all straight away.
