Fun and very nice with the frozen peaches, although I'd like to try it again later in the summer with farmer's market ripe peahces. I liked it in the sparkling wine as a dessert drink better than by itself, but it was tasty either way. Made for the Daffy Daffodils ZWT4

Went out and got myself an ice cream maker just to try a few of the wonderful recipes posted for the world tour. Anyway, this was the first recipe I've ever done in an ice cream maker and I just could not have alked for more. This recipe is absolutely fantastic. I loved the sweetness of it and I can only imagine if I had really ripe peaches, just how much better it would be. Easy to make even for a beginner. Came out so decadent tasting! Loving every bite! Well done Team!! Made for the Babes of ZWT4.

I really wanted to stay true to this recipe, but unfortunately I did not have enough peaches that was any good and could not find frozen ones at our regular store. I did, however have some leftover frozen mango I just used for jam and apples. So, I used one peach, leftover mango, and one apple along with prosecco to make this sorbetto on this incredibly hot, hot day in Northern California. I used a blender to blend all the fruits and added other ingredients before processing it in the ice cream maker. This sorbetto made my husband very happy waiting for our burger dinner. I do think that sugar can be adjusted somewhat depending on the sweetness of fruits. I plan on cutting back on sugar next time since I'm really not into sweet taste - maybe 1/3 C to 1/2 C only. Thank you for coming up with this treat! We loved it.

My favorite drink in a dessert, what could be better?!?! I used unsweetened frozen peaches and Italian prosecco. We plan to try this again with extra prosecco in champagne glasses :wink: for a brunch. Made for ZWT 4.

FOR ZWT4: So easy to make!! I felt a bit guilty, because I had to use canned (drained) peaches. We do not get frozen, and it's the middle of winter in SA!! I used less sugar to compensate for the peaches canned in syrup. I also had to use a local bubbly which I knew was good quality. This is a lovely, light sorbet. Sorry about no photo: when I'd got it all set up, I found my camera batteries were flat!!! (No wonder, it's worked hard to far for ZWT4!!!)
