sugar
1 tsp
lime zest
Instructions
Make simple syrup: In a saucepan, bring water, sugar, lime juice, and lime zest to boil. When sugar is fully dissolved, turn off heat and cool.
Fruit prep: Cut cantaloupe into slices. Remove rind. Cut into chunks. Slice peaches and remove pits. Using a blender, puree fruits to liquid (working in batches may be helpful).
Making sorbet: Put all pureed fruit in a large, freezer-safe bowl. Add simple syrup gradually, stirring to mix and tasting as you go to achieve desired sweetness. You are aiming for a flavor that’s slightly more sweet than you would normally eat, since freezing will alter the flavor.
Cover bowl with cling wrap and place in the freezer. Set a timer for 1 hour. When timer goes off, remove bowl and stir mix. Repeat timer and stirring at 1 hour intervals until the mix is very hard to stir. After 5-7 hours, depending on freezer temperature, the sorbet should be ready.
