Spiced Peach Basil Sorbet
So the same weekend that I had my Canning Party, I also made this sorbet. As I mentioned, a friend had given me a half bushel of Georgia peaches and they were all ripe at once and heading south very quickly.
After making these peach pie bars, the peach jam at the party, then the spicy peach jam (post coming soon), I still had about 15 peaches staring me in the face. Obviously, my mind went straight to ice cream.
Since I’ve been trying to make sorbets, and the last peach sorbet that I made was such a hit, it was a no brainer.
I decided to pair it with basil this time around and spiked it with some Jack Daniels. The alcohol helps the sorbet to not get too icy and the Jack Daniels give a nice spiciness to the sorbet. You can leave it out if you want, but I was glad it was there.

This sounds DIVINE! Around my house Mondays are known as ‘Mexican Monday’ and I already have some yummy burritos planned for tonight but I know what I’ll be serving next Monday! Thanks for sharing 🙂 xox
Those look delicious! We do fajitas a lot but we always do them EXACTLY the same. It’ll be nice to have a new and different recipe to try!
Yum…I was thinking of making fajitas tonight anyway…and I think I’ve got leftover chimichurri. It’s all coming together now…thanks!
Yum! I love my Food Network magazine too. I look forward to getting it and totally agree about the 2 month increments…it should be once a month. Now onto the recipe. It looks great:) I love fajitas but never have made them at home. I will have to give it a try.
The contrast of colors looks fantastic! I love the idea of chimichurri with fajitas!
so beer is the secret! yum!! Sounds delicious 🙂
We love fajitas in my house and the chimichurri sauce looks great!
