Old Fashioned Peach Ice Cream

Place chopped peaches in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup sugar and stir. Cove and let sit for at least 1 hour.

Once peaches have released a lot of juice, place peaches and juice in a food processor. Pulse 3-4 times just until peaches are broken up into small pieces.

In a saucepan, heat heavy cream, milk and 3/4 cup sugar and salt. Warm over medium heat, stirring often until the sugar has dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes.

In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks with a wire whisk or an electric mixer. Egg yolks should become smooth and lighter in color (see pictures in post)

Take 1/2 cup of heated cream mixture and pour slowly into egg yolks. Whisk steadily while pouring in mixture.

Pour egg mixture back into remaining cream mixture. Reheat over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes stirring often. You do not want this mixture to boil. Mixture will begin to thicken just slightly. You want it to be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. An instant read thermometer should read 175-185 F.

Place a fine strainer over the top of a bowl. Pour custard mixture into strainer to strain off any small bits of egg or lumps.

Stir in vanilla and peaches with juices

Cover and refrigerate until completely cooled, at least 4 hours or overnight.

Place custard into an automatic ice cream maker and churn for 20-25 minutes

Remove ice cream and place in freezer for 2 hours before serving.
