The white peaches at the farmer's market smelled like the best kind of shower gel. I wanted to get naked and roll around in them. Instead, since there was a crowd, I bought some to take home. What I do with my peaches is my business. OK, so what I did with them was make sorbet. Not quite as erotic as gettin' jiggy with 'em, but close... White Peach-Basil Sorbet
(Makes about 3 cups)
4 white peaches, pitted, sliced and frozen (to keep them from sticking together while freezing lay them out on a cookie sheet.)
Simple syrup infused with basil*
Juice of 1 lime
Combine all in the container of the Vita-Mix. Start on Variable #1, increase to #10. Use tamper if needed to combine ingredients. Run until the motor sounds changes, about 1 minute.
*To make the simple syrup: Combine 12 ounces water with 1/4 cup sugar or sweetner of your choice. Cook over medium-low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped basil. Cool completely then strain basil out of the syrup. Chill the syrup before using for the sorbet.
