    Cooking Time: 15 mins + freezing time

    • 500ml (2 cups) peach juice
    • 2 peaches, peeled and diced
    • 1 nectarine, unpeeled and diced
    • 15ml (1 tbsp) honey
    • 30ml (2 tbsp) lemon juice

    Instructions

    1

    Place all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.

    2

    Pour the mixture into a freezer-proof container, without a lid, and place it in the freezer. Every 2 hours, run a fork through it to break it all up. Repeat the process 3 or 4 times until the whole mixture is frozen and has the texture of shaved ice. Run a fork through it again just before serving.

    Serve with more fresh fruit on the side. It goes perfectly with an ice-cold glass of sparkling wine.
