Sorbet = Sorvay

Firstly, Thanks, Mom and Dad for the new toy!  They got me this for my birthday.  It's pretty cool.

Secondly, thanks, Mom for the peaches.

I took my first attempt at making such sorbet, or as the boys like to call it "Really healthy sorvay". I'm good with that.  I don't have the heart to correct them.

I added a simple syrup with lemon juice to my pureed peaches.  Transferred that mixture to my ice cream attachment and let it whirl.  Aside from all the steps in prepping, stirring, waiting, it was fantastic.  The peach flavor is robust, the lemon gave it a zing.  I used this recipe as a starting point, increasing the yield.  I used 6 large peaches and 1/4 cup sugar.  I was amazed that my ingredient list:  peaches, water, sugar, lemon juice made a much better sorbet than anything you could buy in the store.

 The best part for my family...not a stitch of artificial food coloring.  There is absolutely no reason why we ever should need artificial color in our foods. 

Next up...Mojito Sorbet for my friends (oh, yes, with rum) and strawberry ice cream for my boys.

Dishwasher vs. Ice Cream

There are some things that I find ruined and not worth consumption if not right. Soggy bread encasing a wad of turkey and cheese, a salad with bad dressing and no raisins, and soupy ice cream.

We got a new refrigerator a while back and I am still figuring it out. Well, figuring out the best place to put the ice cream so that it is really hard, but still scoopable. That is a very fine line, folks.

This was a little soft for my taste. Soft from the freezer and the fact that I stupidly placed it on the counter to scoop.

The counter that is directly above our dishwasher.

The dishwasher that had just finished drying.

Duh!
