Summer is not over yet, and even though I am more than ready for fall (my favorite season), I am still enjoying good fresh produce while I still can.  Ben and I both agreed this is our favorite of all the sorbets I have made so far.  It really tastes like fresh peaches and it has what I consider the perfect texture for a sorbet.  I was a bit skeptical about using a half cup of corn syrup initially (or using it at all, really) but most peach sorbet recipes I found called for it.  When I pureed the fruit mixture I started out with just a quarter cup and did a taste test, but I felt the half cup was necessary.  I’m glad I followed the recipe because it came out with just the right amount of sweetness and did not overpower the nice peach flavor.
