The Peach Truck Cookbook
Stephen and Jessica Rose started the wildly successful Peach Truck, and now have a cookbook of the same name. Here, we've excerpted four fabulous recipes from it.
Use peaches that are as soft as possible; they’ll be the best for flavor and texture. Before serving, let the sorbet soften at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Ingredients
SERVINGS: 10 Serving(s)
- 2½ pounds very ripe peaches, pitted and coarsely chopped
- ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of kosher salt
Preparation
1. Combine the peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a food processor; process until smooth.
2. Pour the mixture into an ice cream machine. Process according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Transfer to a freezer-safe container and place a piece of parchment paper directly on the surface of the sorbet. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for 4 hours or up to overnight before serving. The sorbet will keep in the freezer for up to 1 week.
