Ginger Peach Sorbet



Ginger Peach Sorbet

4 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and cut into chunks
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg white
4 pieces sweet stem ginger in syrup or crystallized ginger, chopped


In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine peaches, lime juice and sugar. Process to a smooth purée. Pour purée into a shallow metal pan and place in freezer. Freeze until edges are firm and center is soft, about 2 hours.

In a large bowl, beat egg white until almost stiff; set aside.

Return semifrozen peach purée to food processor and process until it becomes frothy, about 30 seconds. Add ginger and egg white to processor and, using on-off pulses, process just long enough to blend in white, 3-5 seconds.

Pour mixture into a freezer container, cover tightly and place in freezer until firm but not frozen solid, 1-2 hours. If it freezes solid, allow it to soften in refrigerator before serving, about 30 minutes.
