How to Make Peach Ginger Sorbet
Step 1: To begin, we're going to make a ginger simple syrup. Cook down sliced ginger in equal parts sugar and water until a clear syrup forms. Let it cool slightly before moving to the next step.

Step 2: Add your frozen peaches to a food processor and blend until small pieces are formed.
Don't have a food processor? A blender works just as well.
Step 3: Pour in the warm water and simple syrup, then blend again until you have a soft sorbet texture.
Step 4: That's all it takes! You can enjoy right now, or let it firm up just a bit in the freezer.
Recipe Pro Tip
- Like a more firm sorbet? Instead of enjoying right after blending, add to a loaf pan or deli container and cover with cling wrap and a lid. Then freeze for about an hour before stirring and serving.
Recipe FAQs
Yes, you can! Use a bit of ginger paste instead of fresh ginger, and sweeten with pineapple juice, honey, or agave syrup.
Properly stored in an airtight container, this sorbet will keep for up to 4 months.
When you're ready to eat, I recommend letting the container sit out on the counter for a few minutes until it begins to thaw; then, stir well to get that soft and smooth texture back.
