Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 medium peaches -- peeled and pitted

and coarsely chopped

1/2 cup nonfat sour cream

2 tablespoons sugar plus

2 teaspoons sugar

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 sprigs fresh mint -- (optional)

 

SERVES 4

 

If you start with sweet, ripe fruit, you don't need to add much sugar to

make a tasty fruit sherbet. Just freeze the cut-up fruit, then puree it

with a little sugar and nonfat sour cream-no ice cream freezer

required. This makes a soft, creamy sherbet that should be served immediately.

 

Freeze the chopped peaches on a baking sheet until frozen hard, several

hours or overnight.

 

In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, sugar, lemon juice, and

vanilla. Transfer frozen peaches to a food processor and pulse until

mixture is like snow. Add sour cream mixture and blend until smooth and

creamy, stopping the machine and scraping down the sides of the bowl once

or twice. Serve immediately, garnishing each portion with a mint sprig, if

desired.

 

TIP: This recipe works beautifully with other fresh fruit (try mangoes,

strawberries, or blackberries) and with store.bought frozen fruit.
