    Fresh Georgia peaches and sweetened, condensed milk easily combine in a blender to make this refreshing and easy peach sherbert! Easy Peach Sherbert with title written on chalkboard

    Is there anything better than a sweet, fresh, juicy Georgia peach in the middle of July? How about a SEMI LOAD of sweet, fresh, juicy Georgia peaches?

    I discovered The Peach Truck this summer when my sister told me it was coming to our gorgeous local winery and vineyard, Gervasi. The Peach Truck goes on tour delivering fresh Georgia peaches from Tennessee up to Michigan, and they are LE-GIT. I'm always game for a little mid-day trip to a winery, especially if it involves anything foodie related, and I happened to have the day off so, fortunately, I was able to join my mom and sister on a Peach Truck excursion!

    What I didn't know is exactly how many peaches I had signed up for. Either my sister had severely underestimated the Peach Truck quantities or I was coerced on this peach mission with lies. Either way, I was sent home with more peaches than I knew what to do with and could possibly eat before they went bad.

    After sharing a bunch with friends and family and eating a half dozen on my own, I was still left with a half dozen that needed to either be used, baked into a dessert or frozen! Since I wanted to make something that didn't need to be gobbled up right away, I decided to whip up some peach sherbert. I found this 2 ingredient blender recipe from Tricia at Saving Room for Dessert and I was immediately sold by its simplicity! Add in these fresh Georgia peaches and you've got a killer summer sherbert!

    Fun fact: Did you know that the proper spelling of sherbert is sherbet? A more uncommon form of spelling ("sherbert") came around after years of people pronouncing it as "sure-burt" and spelling it as such. Depending on which region of the country you live in, you may spell it sherbet or sherbert! (Clearly in Ohio I have picked up sherbert 🙂 )

    All about the peach truck...

    So because this recipe is so simple and will literally take 2 sentences to explain, let me distract you by talking about The Peach Truck some more! My sister and I had imagined this adorable little brightly colored food truck with a little southern man handing us little brown paper bags full of peaches. (I'm really not sure why we thought everything was going to be miniature...) However, it turned out to be a GIANT semi load of boxes upon boxes of peaches!Crates of peaches stacked up in parking lotTo get your peaches, you get in the peach line, order and pay for how many boxes you want (yup, no bags, only big boxes!), and they give you these adorable peach tokens to take to the loading guys! I'd like to give a special shout out to these guys who stated they were "Just peachy" when asked how they were doing. 🙂 The Peach Truck Tokens Once you get up to the front of the line, you simply hand over your tokens, take your peaches and your peach mission is complete! Just look at these beauties! So many opportunities. Roasted peaches anyone? How about a brie, bacon peach and basil flatbread? Or you could just eat them straight for the next 84 days! Peaches in cratePS: I don't know what Georgia is feeding their peaches down there but I'm pretty sure this one was eating the other peaches....Close up view of huge peach in handNow that you're well-acquainted with my peaches (sorry, that sounds dirtier than anticipated...), let's talk a little bit about how to choose and store them!

    WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR WHEN I CHOOSE a fresh peach?

    • Choose peaches with vibrant colors and a fragrant smell.
    • Choose peaches that give a little when pressed. This is a sign that they are ripe and ready to be eaten. If they are still firm, they will need a few days to ripen.
    • Avoid peaches with a green tinge to their color or any with bruises, scratches, flat areas, or mold.

    HOW DO I STORE peaches UNTIL I’M READY for them?

    • Store on your countertop shoulder (stem) side down in a single layer to prevent bruising.
    • If the peaches start to ripen before you get to eat them, you can put them in the refrigerator for a few days to slow down the ripening process. Just be sure to eat them before they start to wrinkle and dry out!

    Tip: You can find more tips on seasonal produce selection and storage, plus tons of recipes from fellow food bloggers in my Monthly Seasonal Produce Guides! 

    Sounds peachy, SO HOW DO I MAKE THe sherbert?

    You're going to start by slicing 6 fresh, ripe peaches and freezing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can peel them if you'd like, but you don't have to. After about 4 hours, add the peaches and 1 (14 oz) can of sweetened, condensed milk into a blender. Puree until the consistency of soft-serve ice cream, then serve immediately or freeze until ready to eat.

    This may go without saying, but keep in mind that the flavor will only be as good as your peaches, so make sure you're using the best, and most fresh ones you can find! Pre-frozen peaches will not give you the same flavor as fresh!

    That's it! If freezing before serving, you may need to let it set out for a while to be soft enough to easily scoop but after that dig in and enjoy! 🙂
