This week’s Food Matters Project recipe was a Raspberry Cabernet Sorbet. I had some fresh, local fruit from the market and I thought it would be a nice treat to add peaches to the raspberry sorbet. I opted for a raw version, as I just couldn’t bear to cook that delicate, fresh fruit, and I’m glad I did because it turned out great!
Good luck not eating most of it straight out of the ice cream maker.

RASPBERRY PEACH SORBET – REFINED SUGAR FREE, DAIRY FREE – The Food Matters Project
2 cups raspberries
3 small peaches (about 1 cup), pitted
1 cup cashews soaked in 1 cup water
1 heaping tbsp honey
Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Add more water as needed to facilitate blending. Pour into ice cream maker and follow manufacturers instructions. I ran mine for 20 minutes and then put it in the freezer to firm it up.
Love it Erin!! Spectacular, simple and delicious!
Thanks Meg!
Hey! This looks awesome. I want to do a raw version next time. Do you think I can do it without the icecream maker? Nice work!
Hey Jen, thanks! And you can absolutely make it without an ice cream maker. You would probably get the best results if you used frozen fruit (or froze your fresh fruit first) and ate it straight out of the blender – or you can freeze it after blending in a casserole dish and mix it every hour for a few hours til it firms up to your liking. Good luck and thanks for a great pick this week!
I love the idea of the soaked cashews! Brilliant and beautiful pictures BTW.
Thank so much! Yeah, it’s similar to the coconut milk thing a lot of FMP’ers did this week… the cashews soak up lots of water and blend creamy smooth to add some body (and nutrition) to the sorbet.
Love the sugar-free aspect. Will definitely pin this to my “Things I want to make” board!
Thanks Elaine! With fruit as sweet as peaches, just a little honey will do the trick… no need for refined sugar in my sweet treats!
