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.

Hilarious Jen! And to use one of my own recipes. Pure genius. 😛

I just can not get over David A’s big cheesy grin. LOL Wonderful looking cupppy cakes.
those are great!! question, how does using white wheat flour affect the cupcakes? whenever i try this with my baking it makes things so dense so i don’t bother with modifying cupcakes anymore.
The King Arthur’s white wheat flour is the only flour I use. I’ve never had a problem with it.
