Ingredients

  • 4 peaches peeled, pitted
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 14 mint leaves

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the sugar and water in a saucepan put on medium heat for approx 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile slice the peaches into thin slices and ad to the saucepan and cook a further 1 minute, and remove from the heat.
  3. Pick the leaves off the stalks of mint and chop finely using a sharp knife to prevent bruising.
  4. Puree the peach and sugar mix in a blender or processor, once smooth pour into a relatively shallow freezer proof dish or tray, place in freezer and leave for 15 minutes, add the mint and stir with a fork.
  5. Replace to freezer and continue to scrape with fork every 30 minutes or so to ensure even crystals.
  6. I like to add a little peach schnapps in place of some of the water, (but I don’t cook the alcohol off, another trick for happier guests, sshh!).
  7. Serve in a martini glass as a dessert, or shot glasses as a palette cleanser.
