Scale
- 2 tbsp butter
- 5 ripe peaches, peeled and diced
- 1 vanilla bean
- 3 cups (710 ml) water
- 0.5 cups (118 ml) brown sugar
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Slice open the vanilla bean, scrape in the seeds, and add the pod.
- Add the peaches and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have almost completely broken down (about 10-12 minutes).
- In a separate saucepan over medium heat, combine the water and sugar, and heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.
- Once the peaches are finished, remove the vanilla pod and add the peaches to the sugar-water.
- Let simmer for 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and strain the peach mush through a colander, saving the liquid.
- Discard the peaches and let the liquid cool (about 15-20 minutes).
- Freeze the liquid for 4 hours or until frozen through.
- Serve.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
- To achieve a smoother sorbet, use a high-quality ice cream maker.
- Store the sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
