White Peach Sorbet
- 400 g ripe white peaches (about 5)
- 1 gelatin sheet
- 100 g glucose (1/4 cup)
- 2 g kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon)
- 0.5 g citric acid (see page 16) (1/8 teaspoon)
- Cut the peaches in half and pit them.
- Plop them into a blender and puree until smooth and homogenous, 1 to 3 minutes.
- Pass the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl.
- Use a ladle or spoon to press on the dregs of the puree to extract as much juice as possible; you should only be discarding a few spoonfuls worth of solids.
- Bloom the gelatin (see page 29).
- Warm a little bit of the peach puree and whisk in the gelatin to dissolve.
- Whisk in the remaining peach puree, the glucose, salt, and citric acid until everything is fully dissolved and incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into your ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturers instructions.
- The sorbet is best spun just before serving or using, but it will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
- Powdered gelatin can be substituted for the sheet gelatin: use 1/2 teaspoon.
- In a pinch, substitute 35 g (2 tablespoons) corn syrup for the glucose.
- With all things fresh and seasonal, its always important to taste, taste, taste.
- Make the sorbet base to your liking with more glucose, salt, or citric acid (see page 26).
- Instead of a whisk, use a hand blender to mix the sorbet base.
