Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
Here are my best kitchen secrets for perfect results every time:
- Make-Ahead Magic: This sorbet can be made a few days in advance, making it a fabulous option for entertaining.
- Peach Perfection: Choose peaches that are ripe and fragrant for the best flavor. They should yield slightly to pressure but not be overly soft.
- Slicing Trick: Make your peach slicing easier by cutting all around the pit and twisting the halves apart gently.
- Storage Stylist: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week; though I doubt there’ll be any left after everyone tastes it!
