Wash the peaches thoroughly and remove the pits, leaving the skins on.
3 lbs peaches
Blend most of the peaches until smooth, then transfer the puree to a large mixing bowl that has an airtight lid.
Place the remaining peaches in the blender with the sugar, water, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and the sugar is dissolved.
1-2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, Pinch of salt
Stir this sweetened puree into the bowl of peach puree, mixing until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness and lemon as needed. The flavor will mellow a bit after making into ice cream.
Secure the airtight lid and refrigerate the mixture for 2–4 hours, or overnight, until well chilled.
Once cold, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, about 25-35 minutes, or your preferred texture.
Serve right away for soft sorbet, or transfer to a freezer-safe container with an airtight lid and freeze for 2–4 hours, or overnight, until scoopable.

Notes
If using frozen peaches, thaw before blending.
Store sorbet in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
For a softer texture, let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before scooping.
Adding fresh herbs like basil or mint creates a fun flavor twist.
