Ingredients
Peach Sorbet
- Ingredients
- 1 Vanilla bean
- ½ Cinnamon stick
- 3 Tbsps jam sugar (Pectin, 3:1)
- 4 very ripe Peaches
- liquid Sweetener
- 1 very fresh egg
- 4 ozs Blueberries
- 4 stalks mint
Halve vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out seeds.
Place half of the cinnamon stick with the sugar and 7 tablespoons of water in a small pot. Bring to a boil and let cook until syrupy. Pass through a sieve into a bowl.
Rinse peaches, wipe dry, halve, remove pits and chop. Place in a tall vessel with the syrup and puree with an immersion blender.
Pass the peach puree through a sieve into another bowl. Add sweetener to taste.
Separate the egg and place the white in a tall vessel (save the yolk for another use). Whisk until fluffy, then fold into the peach puree.
Freeze mixture in an ice cream machine (or in a shallow container, beating often with a hand mixer). Freeze for at least 6 hours.
Rinse blueberries and drain. Rinse mint, shake dry and pluck leaves. Serve peach sorbet with berries and mint leaves.

Healthy, because
Peaches are packed with minerals such as calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and iron, as well as provitamin A and B vitamins.
Even smarter
Make sure to use the freshest egg as possible in this sorbet, as egg whites can contain salmonella.
