Peaches come from a can
They were put there by a man
In a factory down town
And if i had my little way
I’d eat peaches everyday
Sun soaking bulges in the shade

I have the very honoured privilege to say that the first (rock) concert I ever went to was the Presidents of the United States of America. Also on the bill that night was Custard and Jebediah- all for $10 I might add! I was 15. The most vivid memory of this night was my best friend and I eyeing off the very cute, tall, purple-haired bassist in Jebediah all night, thinking he was pretty hot. We found out the next day he was actually a she. Oops! She had us both fooled!  

This recipe calls for 1 ingredient. A can of peaches. Or it could be pears, or apricots, or lychee’s or mango for that matter. It’s one of those recipes that would probably make a few foodies cringe. I actually heard about it, of all places, on a Sizzler ad last year – but it was kind of an infomercial style ad… very weird. This is what new mothers are subjected to – infomercials about miraculous exercise contraptions and funeral plans. But the upside to being at home is all the FOOD related shows on TV. For a few months there when I was pinned down on the couch by a breastfeeding baby – I would surf between the channels and for about 5 hours straight I was able to watch food shows back to back.

Anyway – this is about peaches in a can.

So… chuck an unopened can of fruit in the freezer and leave it there. Forget about it.

Then, grab it, open it up, wait maybe 10 minutes for it to thaw a bit and buzz it with a stick blender.

Ta-Da! Instant Sorbet!!

I added a little natural yoghourt to this one – the extra zing of the yoghourt softened the sweetness a little.
