How to make it

  • Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan.
  • Add the peaches and sugar and simmer gently over low heat for 30 minutes.
  • Allow the peaches to cool thoroughly in the liquid and pass the contents of the pan through a fine-mesh strainer, scraping the solids to extract as much pulp as possible.
  • Pour the strained liquid into a stainless steel or glass bowl and stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract.
  • Freeze for 45 minutes to 1 hour, scraping the ice crystals that form around the edges into the center every 10 minutes with a spatula. The mixture should be of an even, grainy consistency when ready.
  • To serve, scoop the granite into chilled serving glasses and garnish with mint leaves.
