Sparkling Peach Sorbet

I have been enjoying the fresh peaches and am starting to get sad about them disappearing soon. While I love some of the fall produce like winter squashes and apples, summer fruits like peaches are wonderful. Here is an easy sorbet you can make in a minute or two without an ice cream maker that is slightly sophisticated and refreshing on a summer evening.

Sparkling Peach Sorbet - Makes 1 bigger serving or 2 smaller servings

Ingredients:

* 2 large sliced and peeled peaches, frozen or 3 cups of frozen peach slices
* 1/4 cup (2oz) of your favorite sparkling white wine (can use regular white wine also) or sparkling apple cider (I used verdi spumante)
* Sweetener of your choice if peaches aren't completely ripe (about 1/2-1 tsp or to taste)

Directions:

1. Freeze sliced peaches for at least 3-4 hours if using non-frozen ones.
2. Add peaches and sparking wine to food processor.
3. Blend ingredients together into everything is fully blended.
4. Taste and add sweetener if needed, then blend sweetener with peaches and sparkling wine.
5. Serve in bowl and enjoy!

 
Sorry for the less than perfect picture, the sorbet was not easy to get to look pretty. This is a nice alternative to water ice or a packaged sorbet or sherbet , which usually has a lot more sugar that this sorbet.
