Homemade Peach Ice Cream

I bought an ice cream maker a few months ago. After doing a few trial runs getting used to it, I decided to make something more than just a vanilla ice cream.


I picked up some fresh peaches at the farmer's market right as they were at peak for the season. They really made for a great tasting ice cream.

Be aware that this recipe uses raw eggs. You'll also need an ice cream maker.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups peaches, diced and peeled
• 1 1/4 cups sugar (can use Splenda)
• 1/2 lemon, juiced

• 1 cup milk

1. Place the peaches, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and all of the lemon juice in a bowl and stir. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Stir every 30 minutes.

2. Drain juices from peaches into a small bowl and return peaches to the refrigerator.

3. Place the eggs in a large bowl and whisk until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add in the remaining sugar, a bit at a time, continuing to whisk for about 1 minute.

4. Add the cream and milk and whisk.

5. Add the peach juice and blend well.

6. Transfer mixture to the ice cream maker and freeze per manufacturer's instructions.

7. In the last 2 minutes of processing, add the peaches to the ice cream mixture and continue to freeze until done.
