FAQs
Can I use canned peaches?
Yes, drain them well and freeze before blending for the right texture. Canned peaches are softer and a bit sweeter, so adjust honey to taste.
Do I need an ice cream maker?
No ice cream maker is required. A blender or food processor creates a creamy sorbet easily, and the freezer does the rest.
What if my sorbet is icy or too hard?
Let it soften at room temperature for a few minutes. Blending extra smooth or adding a little honey helps reduce iciness.
