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.

Yay! You’ve had a delicious 12 days of cookies and I’m so glad I got to follow along. So many wonderful treats that I feel like I’m armed for next year! Here’s wishing you a Merry Christmas! 🙂
Congratulations on finishing your 12 cookies! I know it wasn’t easy. I felt like I was constantly baking and eating cookies for 2 weeks straight when I made mine. My co-workers were very happy though. I thought this was a lot of fun and I hope to do it again next year (if my husband lets me. lol). I need to plan earlier on what cookies I want to make too.
Merry Christmas!
I really enjoyed your 12 days of cookies. I am saving your list to add to my baking next year.
PS – I tagged you!
